This document outlines a scale from 1-9 known as the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale used to assess the maturity of technologies. A TRL of 1 refers to basic principles observed, while 9 refers to technologies proven and ready for use. It also includes categories for technical risk from A to D, with A being very high risk of less than 20% reliability and D being low risk with over 95% reliability.
