3. Core Capabilities, Technologies & IP
   Evaluates your technology ecosystems, processes, and any IP assets that power innovation outcomes for your business.
4. Industry Foresight
   Measures your capacities for scenario planning, regulatory readiness, and sustainable innovation adoption.
5. Customer & Stakeholder Awareness
   Understands how your innovations align with, engages, and delivers value to key customer and users.
6. Impact & Value
   Assesses how you capture tangible results: efficiency gains, sustainability metrics, profitability, and strategic advantage.
