4. Definition Stage Complete the functional spec for Gen. II
Cross-industry feedback & involvement
X-team (by end of 1st quarter)
C-team (by end of 2nd quarter)
A-team (by end of 2nd quarter)
Work proactively to obtain potential suppliers
Change gears get into Project Mode

5. Project Considerations
Looking for End User collaboration
(looking for names)
Define project logistics
schedule
number of units
applications (liquid, gas, etc.)

6. Funding Generate a total cost for Gen II protype(s)
Confirm End User collaboration
funding support
get to test your own prototype
buy your own theater chair!
We will explore additional ext. funding
(a good proposal with wide industry support may help obtain external funding)
e.g. DOE, CPAC to leverage funding proposals

7. Build & Validate Manufacture Integration/Package
Testing by end user partners
Validating the new technology
One or more iteration cycles to make sure it is ready for “prime time”
Formal commercialization
