Screen every disclosure for commercial viability — so your team can prioritize confidently and no promising technology gets left behind.

Tech transfer offices receive hundreds of invention disclosures each year, but most lack the bandwidth to perform rigorous commercial viability assessment on each one. The result: promising technologies sit unlicensed while offices focus on the disclosures with the most obvious market potential.

Without preliminary economic analysis, triage decisions rely heavily on intuition and surface-level market signals — leading to missed opportunities and inefficient allocation of licensing resources.

The IP Evaluation Tool would automate preliminary techno-economic analysis for a piece of IP. Given a disclosure or patent abstract, it would produce a process flow diagram and a preliminary commercial viability assessment — identifying key cost drivers, market size estimates, and competitive positioning.

This would give TTO staff a structured, data-backed starting point for triage decisions, reducing the time from disclosure to initial assessment from weeks to hours.

A typical pilot would involve a batch of 10-20 technologies from your disclosure pipeline, run through the IP Evaluation Tool over a 4-6 week period. We would measure time savings per disclosure, triage accuracy against historical outcomes, and staff confidence in assessment quality.

At the end of the pilot, your office would receive a full report comparing tool-assisted and traditional triage — along with recommendations for integration into your existing workflow.
