Please indicate the technology "readiness" of your innovation based on the following options:

RL 1 - Basic Research: Basic research without any particular application or use in mind.

RL 2 - Applied Research: Applied research, original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is, however, directed primarily towards a specific, practical aim or objective. Applied research is undertaken either to determine possible uses for the findings of basic research or to determine new methods or ways of achieving specific and predetermined objectives.

RL 3 - Proof of Concept: Proof-of-concept for system, process, product, service, or tool; this can be considered an early phase of experimental development; feasibility studies may be included.

RL 4 - Prototype / Lab-Tested: Successful evaluation of system, subsystem, process, product, service, or tool in a laboratory or other experimental environment; this can be considered an intermediate phase of development.

RL 5 - Prototype / Target-Environment Tested: Successful evaluation of system, subsystem process, product, service, or tool in relevant environment through testing and prototyping; this can be considered the final stage of development before demonstration begins.

RL 6 - Prototype / Demonstration of Technology: Demonstration of a prototype system, subsystem, process, product, service, or tool in relevant or test environment (potential demonstrated).

RL 7 - Prototype / Operational in Real-World Environment: Prototype system, process, product, service, or tool demonstrated in an operational or other relevant environment (functionality demonstrated in near-real world environment; subsystem components fully integrated into system).

RL 8 - Finalized with Approvals and Documentation: Finalized system, process, product, service, or tool tested and shown to operate or function as expected within user's environment; user training and documentation completed; operator or user approval given.

RL 9 - Deployed and In-Use in the Market: System, process, product, service, or tool deployed and used routinely.
