Define R&D Work Packages and Commercialisation Narrative
Structure your core innovation into discrete R&D work packages, articulating the technical risk, novelty, and underlying IP. Frame these technical achievements within a compelling commercialisation narrative that demonstrates a clear route to market and measurable economic impact.
Isolating technical risk and mapping it to commercial outcomes creates a defensible grant proposal framework. This ensures evaluators can clearly see the technical feasibility, market pull, and return on public investment.
Complete an initial matrix breaking down technical work packages, estimated budgets, novel technical claims, and mapped commercial routes. The document must explicitly bridge scientific innovation with customer acquisition and revenue generation.
Five questions an expert would ask when reviewing your output
Use these to challenge assumptions, pressure-test your logic, and check the quality of this action's output in the context of the parent task and wider venture development.
- 1
Where is the explicit boundary between your routine product engineering and genuine, grant-eligible scientific R&D?
- 2
How robust is the evidence supporting your technical novelty claims when scrutinised by domain expert grant reviewers?
- 3
What clear quantitative metrics define success for each proposed technical work package?
- 4
Why would an evaluator believe your commercialisation narrative if customer acquisition channels remain unverified?
- 5
How do your proposed work packages protect and build upon your core proprietary intellectual property?
