Most technologies DO NOT FAIL in the laboratory. They fail in the TRANSITION - somewhere between proven capability and real-world deployment - where the consequences are no longer theoretical and the margin for error disappears. Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) have long provided a structured way to assess technical maturity.

They answer a CRITICAL QUESTION: Does the technology work?

Come find out more at the Energy Projects Conference & Exhibition (EPC) in booth L10 on June 16, where our very own Director of Emerging Technologies, Eric Caldwell, will present on Beyond Readiness: Crossing the Valley That Breaks Most Technologies.

This presentation explores the unseen boundary between technical success and practical viability, the space where technologies encounter regulatory friction, supply chain constraints, capital discipline, and operational complexity. It is here, in what is often called the “Valley of Death,” that otherwise promising innovations stall, delay projects, or quietly fail. Building on recent advancements in aligning TRL frameworks with other processes, this session introduces an expanded model of readiness, one that integrates Adoption Readiness Levels (ARLs) alongside traditional technical assessments.

This approach moves beyond evaluating performance in isolation and instead measures whether a technology is truly prepared to be deployed, scaled, and sustained within the constraints of real projects.

The central premise is simple, but rarely addressed: most technologies are declared “ready” at precisely the moment they are most vulnerable. This session will explore why and what can be done about it.
