(target customers, market, pricing) ID and quantity Market size Customers Volume Prices Distribution Competitors Primary market research Economic Feasibility-Step 6. (Returns justify investment) Formulate financial assumptions Developpro forms ID seed capital Form advisory team Financial model represents business oppotunity Stage 3.Development Engineering Prototype-Step 7 (Prototype that exactly represents product) Develop prototype ID materials dan processes Conduct tests Develop manufacturing methods Materials/functionality prototype of end product Strategic Market plan –Step 8.(detailed profile of target market) ID marketing team Define target market Select market channel Field test Final based on input - suppliers,market & customers Strategic business plan-Step 9. (final financial needs&seed capital) Decide venture or license Finalize intellectual property ID management team Select organization structure Write business plan The business plan Stage 4.Pengenalan Pre-production prototype-Step 10. (Ltd.production, performance&realiability) Develop production prototype Determine production process Select manufacturing equipment Design field support system Demo product features A limited production Validasi pasar-Step 11. (make sales) Establish market relationship Conduct limited sales Analyze sales Survey customers Refine marketing plan Sales Business start up-Step 12. (operational management team) Establish business function Hire staff Execute contracts Secure first-stage financing An

Commercial Phase Technical Market Business Stage 5.Growth Production-Step 13. (Process dependable, raliable&optimized) Prepare commercial design Establish quality control Construct facilities Conduct full production Finalize internal distribution system Production Sales and distribution_step 14. (Market share growth) Expand distribution Analyze competitor respons Assess customer satisfaction Assess distributor satisfaction Refine product features Growing sales Business Growth-Step 15. ( monitor objectives to business plan) Monitor enterprise position Hire and train personnel Execute contracts Arrange financing Institute vision, mission and management policies Increasing revenues Stage 6.Maturity Production Support-Step 16. (Support of product) Maximize production Establish after-market support, repairs and spares Warranty service Implement training program Maximum production Market Diversification-Step 17. (Identity next generation products) Develop market retention Establish market scan ID new markets ID new products  New products Business maturity-Step 18 (generating ROI) Establish SWOT process Invest profits Monitor product life cycle Monitor business trends Monitor management technologies Implement innovations Profits

Fase Komersialisasi Teknologi (4) Technology Readiness Level Description 1. Basic principles observed and reported Lowest level of technology readiness. Scientific research begins to be translated into applied research and development. Example might include paper studies of a technology's basic properties. 2. Technology concept and/or application formulated Invention begins. Once basic principles are observed, practical applications can be invented. The application is speculative and there is no proof or detailed analysis to support the assumption. Examples are still limited to paper studies. 3. Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof of concept Active research and development is initiated. This includes analytical studies and laboratory studies to physically validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology. Examples include components that are not yet integrated or representative. 4. Component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment Basic technological components are integrated to establish that the pieces will work together. This is relatively "low fidelity" compared to the eventual system. Examples include integration of 'ad hoc' hardware in a laboratory. 5. Component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment Fidelity of breadboard technology increases significantly. The basic technological components are integrated with reasonably realistic supporting elements so that the technology can be tested in a simulated environment. Examples include 'high fidelity' laboratory integration of components.

Technology Readiness Level Description 6. System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment Representative model or prototype system, which is well beyond the breadboard tested for TRL 5, is tested in a relevant environment. Represents a major step up in a technology's demonstrated readiness. Examples include testing a prototype in a high fidelity laboratory environment or in simulated operational environment. 7. System prototype demonstration in an operational environment Prototype near or at planned operational system. Represents a major step up from TRL 6, requiring the demonstration of an actual system prototype in an operational environment, such as in an aircraft, vehicle or space. Examples include testing the prototype in a test bed aircraft. 8. Actual system completed and 'flight qualified' through test and demonstration Technology has been proven to work in its final form and under expected conditions. In almost all cases, this TRL represents the end of true system development. Examples include developmental test and evaluation of the system in its intended weapon system to determine if it meets design specifications. 9. Actual system 'flight proven' through successful mission operations Actual application of the technology in its final form and under mission conditions, such as those encountered in operational test and evaluation. In almost all cases, this is the end of the last "bug fixing" aspects of true system development. Examples include using the system under operational mission conditions.
