COI Methodologyβ„’

The Global Standard for Evaluating Innovation Readiness

The Context

Why a New Standard Was Needed

πŸ“‰

Fragmented Claims

Innovation claims are inconsistent and often unverified, creating noise in the market.

ζ–‡

Language Barrier

Enterprises and investors lack a common, rigorous language to assess true deployment readiness.

πŸ“ˆ

Hype vs. Reality

Traditional rankings focus on hype and PR, not on deployability or tangible outcomes.

β—Ž COI IS

  • ― An independent evaluation council
  • ― A structured, multi-dimensional assessment
  • ― Sector-agnostic, outcome-focused
  • ― Designed for enterprise & capital markets

βŠ— COI IS NOT

  • βœ• A media ranking
  • βœ• A paid placement platform
  • βœ• A startup accelerator
  • βœ• A vanity badge
