Reference resources, each paired with a free tool to apply it to your project.
Guide · Technology maturity
The 9 levels, the 5 axes of evidence, what changes from one level to the next and the mistakes that lead to overestimating a TRL.
Plus TRL assessment: your proven TRL and what blocks the next level, in 6 to 8 minutes.

Assess the maturity of your R&D organisation on hardware agility, technological uncertainty or prototyping.
Plus 12 questions, 5 minutes: your level, your top 3 priorities and a question-by-question analysis, straight away.
Take the self-assessmentArticles
In-depth analyses by Damien Cuoq, Innowide's founder, published in French on L'Atelier Innowide, our Substack publication, with a summary on this site.
When the specification cannot be written yet: separate what you know, assume and ignore, then steer through evidence.
What the nine TRL levels prove, what they do not measure, and how to set robust exit criteria.
Learning faster rather than rushing everywhere: the principles that transfer, and what not to copy.
In multidisciplinary projects, what accelerates is cycles designed to reduce uncertainty and synchronise disciplines.
Agile principles remain powerful in industry; it is the tactics inherited from software that hit their limits.
How pupillometry measures fatigue through the autonomic nervous system, at the heart of MYO6.
Structuring a project's first weeks to accelerate without scattering: the Vision → Risks → Prototype → Decision chain.
Past webinars
Topics covered in our previous sessions. Participant feedback has been anonymised and lightly rephrased.
Replace task tracking with critical assumptions, targeted experiments and decision gates grounded in factual evidence.
The approach is clear and highlights the daily discipline required to focus on the risks that truly determine the project's future.
A two-level structure that combines short disciplinary sprints with system-level iterations to learn, decide, align and integrate.
The framework gives teams concrete language for building test prototypes without over-engineering them as finished products.
How modular architectures, interface contracts and simulation help teams iterate without rebuilding the entire system.
This approach confirmed the value of working in modules and opened up useful avenues for going further with simulation.
