Overview

How assessment scores a project on readiness axes such as TRL and BRL, and what the report behind the score tells you.

Assessment evaluates how mature a project is and tells you what has to happen for it to reach the next stage. A project is scored on one or more readiness axes.

TRL and BRL are evaluated by default. The rest are presets you can enable, and you can define readiness levels of your own — see Readiness Levels and Matrix.

The point is not the score. It is the report behind it: why you are at this level, and what specific activity moves you to the next one. A project that reads its level and ignores its report has got nothing out of the exercise.
