Abstract
Used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the U.S. Department of Defense, the technology readiness level (TRL) has been found to contain a number of deficiencies which reduce its fitness for purpose. This technical note examines the undesirable situation that created the TRL from the traditional and holistic problem-solving processes. The contribution of this technical note to the problem-solving body of knowledge is that the holistic thinking approach could have produced a more useful conceptual tool than the TRL for determining the future availability of technology; a tool that instead of focusing on the early stages of the technology lifecycle focuses on the whole technology lifecycle from conceptualization to obsolescence.
