Initial Opportunity Assessment
Test whether a credible monetization opportunity is visible at the outset.
A preliminary evaluation of the markets, customer problems, adoption drivers, competitive context, and transaction possibilities suggested by the available information. It is intentionally directional: the output identifies credible hypotheses, weak assumptions, and the research required before capital is committed to a sale, license, or broader technology transaction process.
