How to read
Distance to center = adoption readiness (Adopt → Hold outward). Color of segment = quadrant. Blip size = potential business impact (1–5). Maturity dot: Emerging · Maturing · Declining. Arrows mark ring movement since last review.
Rated on TRL, impact, confidence — reviewed quarterly.
Tap a blip to inspect TRL, impact, confidence, and owner.
