The Technology Niche AnalysisTM Methodology is a science-based approach to assessing, transitioning and positioning technologies and products for commercialization and market launch.
VISTA S&T has the exclusive Canadian rights to use the Technology Niche AnalysisTM Methodology, developed by US-based Foresight Science & Technology Inc.
The Technology Niche AnalysisTM Methodology uses a portfolio of assessment tools, based on the stages of development of technology development and commercialization.
Go/No GoTM
The Go No GoTM is an early stage weeding tool, designed to rapidly and cost-efficiently identify significant barriers to commercialization before resources are invested to commercialize a technology that is unlikely to succeed.
QuicklookTM
The QuickLook™ is a commercialization feasibility study of three potential market niches or applications for a technology or product. It provides the data necessary to prioritize markets and applications and to make decisions for further development and commercialization.
Technology Niche AnalysisTM
The Technology Niche Analysis™ positions and develops a market entry strategy and launch tactics for a technology at the proof of concept stage or beyond and paves the path to negotiations with technology acquisition, strategic alliance or licensing decision-makers at potential commercialization partners (or venture capitalists) who have been contacted and expressed interest in your technology.
TrailblazerTM
The Trailblazer™ positions a technology at the prototype stage or beyond and develops a roadmap for market entry. It identifies participants for concurrent engineering and opens a dialog with product line and business unit managers at potential commercialization partners and lead customers.
Industry AssessmentTM
The Industry AssessmentTM is a comprehensive assessment tool that examines three market niches or applications in order to determine how well a technology or product will compete within the value chain.
Technology Valuation
VISTA S&T offers a range of valuations for the life of patent or anticipated product/service life cycle. Our valuations provide the assumptions and three discounted cash flow scenarios.
