03 / OPPORTUNITY ENGINEERING

Design what markets could fund.

Build a nonconfidential development brief around an actual problem, scientific capability, necessary participants, evidence gaps and a specific next commercial decision.

Market evidence → Scientific mechanism → Missing capability → Fundable proof → Commercial decision

MARKET → SCIENCE → COMMERCIAL DECISION

One opportunity. A real next decision.

This is a local planning tool for nonconfidential opportunity briefs. Gate selections are self-attested planning inputs—not verified company or institutional approvals.

What can you substantiate?

Do not check items based only on a market-report mention or modeled assumption.

A current decision-maker has confirmed a specific need and product/operating specificationA technical lead has agreed to review the scientific feasibilityActual input/feedstock, operating envelope and relevant site access are characterizedRequired institutional, collaboration and information rights have been reviewedA falsifiable test, baseline, threshold and stop criterion are definedComparative process economics and relevant lifecycle impacts are scopedA commercial sponsor/funding decision owner and next meeting exist

DISCOVER

Market signal ≠ sponsor

A published example can guide research, but do not claim an actionable current mandate without direct confirmation.

QUALIFY

Compatibility is testable

Mechanisms, carbon balances, interfaces, performance requirements, rights and economics determine go/hold/stop decisions.

CONVERT

Only signed deals count

A funded conversion requires an externally verifiable agreement, commercial consideration and attribution—not self-reported readiness.

NEW · PARTICIPATION INTELLIGENCE

Different reasons to participate. One shared opportunity.

Explore what a researcher, company, rights steward, venture builder or operator needs before a commercial opportunity is actually executable.
