Findings
Technology not ready for widespread deployment; too expensive and unreliable. Valuable learnings documented.
Success Metrics
- • 78.4% success rate (industry avg: 60%)
- • 4 innovations transferred to production this year
- • 21.6% failure rate - acceptable for high-risk R&D
- • $0 wasted - all failures documented for learning
Learning from Failure
- • Every failed experiment produces a post-mortem report
- • Failures shared publicly to prevent duplicate efforts
- • "Failure of the Quarter" award for valuable negative results
- • Budget reallocation from failed to promising experiments
Risk Allocation
- • 20% budget for very high-risk moonshots
- • 50% budget for high-risk experiments
- • 25% budget for medium-risk pilots
- • 5% buffer for emergency opportunities
