Call Pilot Readiness With Evidence, Not Hope
Distinguish cell-level promise from pack-level pilot readiness using evidence matched to maturity level.
The move: match every readiness claim to the environment where it has been proven. A Technology Readiness Level is useful because it stops teams from debating adjectives like "ready," "promising," or "nearly there." Instead, it asks for demonstrated maturity. Has the principle been observed? Has the function been proven experimentally? Has the component been validated in a relevant environment? Has the system been demonstrated in an operational setting? For EV battery work, the trap is moving too quickly from cell data to pack promises. A cell can pass cycling at one pressure, one temperature window, and one formation recipe while…
