5. Process is the Differential
• What is the technology?
• Where does it fit in the value chain?
• Who are the customers and decision makers?
• Who do we contact to complete market validation of the project?
• In developing this process, we focus on:
1) understanding the technology in the product value chain
2) determining how it would be used
3) who would be key in the evaluation of the product

6. The Key Issues
• Gaining validation from the marketplace
1) Validation precedes business development
2) The evaluation process must lead to decision makers
• Managing resources for a pool of technologies
1) Validation of a group of technologies requires a phased process
2) Resources dedicated to screening technologies
3) Focus extensive resources on innovations which have passed initial
screenings

10. What is The Neutrino Donut?
• DONUT (Direct Observation of the NU Tau, E872) was an experiment at
Fermilab dedicated to the search for tau neutrino interactions. Even
though the detector operated only during a few months in the summer of
1997, it was largely successful. By detecting the tau neutrino, it confirmed
the existence of the last lepton predicted by the Standard Model. The data
from the experiment was also used to put an upper limit on the tau
neutrino magnetic moment and measure its interaction cross section
• The company name is our message - we are about science
