01
Technology Readiness
Is the core claim supported by reproducible evidence within a defined operating window?
- Replicated results
- Process window
- Failure envelope
- Measurement integrity
Methodology
The Medaya Readiness Framework
A single structure applied to every engagement: eight readiness dimensions, each assessed against stage-appropriate conditions and supporting evidence.
Eight dimensions
02
Scale-Up Readiness
Does a credible physical path exist from current scale to target scale?
- Mass & energy balance
- Pilot design
- Critical equipment
- Supply qualification
03
Organization Readiness
Does the operating system produce decisions at the pace the roadmap requires?
- R&D cadence
- Gate reviews
- Decision rights
- Documentation discipline
04
People Readiness
Are the right capabilities present, sequenced and retained?
- Leadership depth
- Capability gaps
- Hiring sequence
- Key-person risk
05
Safety Readiness
Are hazards, permits and certifications on the plan, not after it?
- Hazard analysis
- Permitting path
- Standards mapping
- Safety ownership
06
Execution Readiness
Do plans reflect real lead times, dependencies and failure recovery?
- Critical path
- Lead-time realism
- Dependency mapping
- Contingency design
07
Capital Readiness
Is the raise sized and timed to de-risking events rather than runway?
- Milestone-capital fit
- Capex phasing
- Non-dilutive funding
- Downside sequence
08
Commercial Readiness
Is there a validated buyer, specification and route to first industrial revenue?
- Customer specification
- Qualification cycle
- Unit economics
- Offtake logic
Stage calibration
The same dimensions, different bars
Pre-Seed
Testability
The claim is defined, falsifiable and within reach of the current team and equipment. Readiness is assessed on evidence design, not on results.
- Clear technical hypothesis
- Credible experimental plan
- Founder-level technical depth
Seed
Reproducibility
Results replicate outside a single operator and a single run. The R&D operating system begins to exist as a system rather than as effort.
- Replicated core result
- Defined process window
- Operating cadence in place
Series A
Scalability
The scale-up path is engineered, the safety and permitting timeline is real, and the organization can absorb capital without losing velocity.
- Pilot data at representative scale
- Hazard and permitting plan
- Organizational capacity to execute
Beyond
Industrialisation
Qualification, supply chain, throughput and commercial delivery become the binding constraints, and readiness is measured in operating performance.
- Qualified supply base
- Throughput and yield stability
- Contracted commercial demand
