In the 1970s, NASA developed the Technical Readiness Level (TRL) scale to measure research and development of cutting edge technology. Their purpose is to estimate the maturity of a technology during the acquisition process and are scaled from 1 to 9 with 9 being the most mature. TRLs enable consistent, uniform discussions of technical maturity across different types of technologies.
This concept is well known to researchers seeking grants from many government agencies, but seems to have lost favor in other engineering applications. With the growing cutting edge discoveries in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science this blog will explore use of this scale to measure progress and guide success of data science projects by linking them to a value on the TRL scale.
