Readiness is only shown when verified for the study. Choose all readiness levels to explore development opportunities.
Not yet verified: the workflow has not been demonstrated and reviewed for this study.
In development: the workflow is being developed or exercised.
Ready for defined workflow: requirements, revisions, operations and acceptance records have been demonstrated for the stated scope.
Not yet verified: the study has no verified manufacturing and inspection route.
Trials required: further material, manufacturing or test work is needed.
Ready in-house / Ready via partner: the defined route has been demonstrated and reviewed, with the delivery location identified.
Readiness applies to the stated study and scope. It is separate from project stage, equipment availability and any customer or sector approval.
