Technical Viability Evaluation

Can your idea actually be built with current technology? Sounds like a simple question. It's not. Here's what technical feasibility really means: ▪️ Material Science: Do the required materials exist and are they accessible? ▪️ Manufacturing Processes: Can current production methods achieve your specifications? ▪️ Tolerances & Precision: Are your design requirements technically achievable? ▪️ Integration Complexity: How many systems need to work together perfectly? ▪️ Cost Reality: Can it be built at a price point that allows for profitable sales? We recently evaluated an idea for a new medical device. Brilliant concept. Huge market need. One problem: the precision required was beyond current manufacturing capabilities at affordable costs. Instead of letting the inventor spend $200,000 discovering this, our $900 Innovation Overview identified the technical barriers upfront. The inventor pivoted to a modified design that was actually buildable. Now in prototype phase. That's the power of technical validation before you build. Your idea might be brilliant. But is it technically feasible? Let's find out. #TechnicalValidation #ProductDevelopment #Engineering

🔍 Technical Assessment of a Mineral Asset – A Structured Framework for Project Evaluation In mineral project development, a Technical Assessment is a critical, code-compliant evaluation that integrates geoscientific, mining engineering, metallurgical, environmental, and economic parameters into a unified technical profile. 📘 I’m pleased to share this comprehensive document outlining the 13 core components essential to evaluating the technical and economic viability of a mineral asset in line with international standards (JORC 2012, VALMIN 2015, NI 43-101, SAMVAL): Tenure – Legal and mineral rights validation Regional & Local Geology – Tectonostratigraphy, lithology, structural framework Mineralisation, Hosting Potential & Prospectivity – Deposit style, controls, exploration upside Exploration & Production History – Historical data validation, QA/QC, prior output Mineral Resources, Reserves & Exploration Targets – Classification, estimation methods, RPEEE Extraction Methods & Mine Design – Pit/stope design, geotechnical factors, scheduling Processing Methods, Flowsheet & Recoveries – Metallurgical response, circuit design, testwork Infrastructure – Site access, power, water, logistical support Capital & Operating Costs – CAPEX/OPEX breakdown, benchmarking, contingency Production Forecasts – LoM scheduling, grade profile, throughput assumptions Environmental, Social & Heritage Impacts – ESG baseline, permitting, FPIC, closure plan Modifying Factors – Mining, metallurgical, environmental, economic inputs for reserve conversion Product Pricing & Revenue Factors – NSR modeling, TCRC terms, pricing sensitivity, royalties The attached reference document provides a technically integrated approach aligned with best practices in mineral asset evaluation. It is structured for use in pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, competent person reporting, due diligence reviews, and valuation exercises where transparency, defensibility, and international code alignment are required. #Geology #JORC #MineralResourceEstimation #MiningEngineering #TechnicalAssessment #FeasibilityStudy #Metallurgy #MiningProjects #ResourceDevelopment #ESIA #OreReserve #MinePlanning #ExplorationGeology #MineralEconomics #MiningDueDiligence #CompetentPersonReport #MineralValuation

Why Technical Assessment is Crucial Before Commercializing a Patent? 🍀Owning a patent does not automatically mean your invention will succeed in the market. Before investing in manufacturing, licensing, or commercialization, a technical assessment is necessary. 🍀What is a Technical Assessment? It’s the process of evaluating whether a patented invention can be practically implemented, scaled, and sustained in real-world conditions. It bridges the gap between theory (patent claims) and practice (working product). 🍀How is it done? 1️⃣ Feasibility Check – Can the invention actually be built with available technology? 2️⃣ Performance Testing – Does it work as efficiently as described in the patent? 3️⃣ Scalability Assessment – Can it be mass-produced at reasonable cost and quality? 4️⃣ Compliance & Standards – Does it meet safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements? 5️⃣ Integration Potential – Can it work with existing systems and infrastructure? 🍀Ola Electric is indigenously designed battery technology to reduce dependence on imports. But before commercialization, they conduct extensive technical assessments: 🔋Thermal & safety tests to prevent overheating and fire risks in Indian climatic conditions. 🔋Performance checks for fast charging, durability, and efficiency during long rides. Scalability evaluation at their Gigafactory in Tamil Nadu to ensure cost-effective mass production. 🔋Regulatory compliance with EV safety standards in India and abroad. 🔋These assessments are what will determine whether Ola’s battery patents move from lab to market and give India a competitive edge in the global EV sector. ☘️Patents protect innovation, but technical assessment ensures survival and success in the market. Without it, many inventions remain only on paper. #Patents #Innovation #IPR #TechnologyAssessment #Commercialization #EV #OlaElectric #MakeInIndia
