Determine Your Readiness
SBIR/STTR Readiness Assessment Tool
Preparing for SBIR/STTR funding is much like assembling a complex puzzle. Scientific innovation, technical feasibility, market need, commercialization planning, regulatory considerations, intellectual property, financing, and an experienced team must fit together into a cohesive strategy for moving technology from the lab to the marketplace.
Success requires more than a great idea or a well-written application—it takes disciplined preparation to understand where your company stands, identify missing pieces, and reduce uncertainty as you move toward customer adoption and sustainable revenue.
The Readiness Tool helps you see how these pieces connect and what needs attention next. Working through the tool honestly helps you establish milestones that reduce risk, support the next stage of development and financing, and prepare both a more competitive SBIR/STTR proposal and a company better positioned for commercialization.
