Description: The Innovator Assessment Framework helps categorize early-stage innovations into one of three development stages based on their achievements in four key domains: market, business model, team, and innovation. The Framework maps domain-relevant challenges and milestones to each development stage and outlines activities needed to reach those key milestones.
Benefit to innovators: Innovators used this tool to assess their development stage, identify organizational gaps in each of the four domains, and establish milestones to work toward during the A-SL@B program.
