Innovation Evaluation
baylor.edu
For a nominal fee, which covers administrative costs, an unbiased team analyzes the commercial potential of an inventor’s new product or idea through the expertise of in-house experts in marketing, manufacturing, finance and other fields. The invention or idea is evaluated according to 33 different criteria. The program gives the inventor objective data on the product’s strengths and weaknesses, which may be used to determine the likelihood of commercial success before committing capital to fully develop and market the product. A good score could help secure a development loan by increasing credibility with banks, as well as encouraging an inventor to pursue the invention with a business plan and patent. A low score could warn an inventor to reconsider any further investment.
