Transitioning deep technology like secure Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI) through the commercialization "valley of death" requires structured guidance. This thesis developed a roadmap to guide a specific VMI solution from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 to initial market launch readiness asking how integrated commercialization frameworks could enable this critical transition.
A single-case analysis methodology was employed. Following a review of relevant commercialization theories, the VMI's TRL 6 / MRL 4 baseline was confirmed using the Market and Technology Readiness Level (MTRL) framework. Based on this assessment and a selection of integrated commercialization process and readiness diagnostic frameworks, a tailored, two-phase strategic roadmap was developed, utilizing internal project documentation and the systematic application of these selected frameworks.
This roadmap, which synchronizes technical (TRL) and market (MRL) progress through evidence-based gates and iterative cycles, constitutes the main result. The study concludes that such an integrated, adaptive methodology provides a viable and actionable plan for navigating the VMI's path to market readiness, offering insights for similar high-assurance technology commercialization efforts.
