Short answer - Way past TRL 9.

That diagram no longer applies to the AKIDA variants (1000, 1500 and 2000) as the IP has not only reached "Level 9 Proven in an operational environment" but is now packaged in products - PC card ready to drop into your motherboard, the Edge Ai Box, and (when back in stock) the Rapsberry Pi version etc.






That 9 level diagram covers only the R&D work-up. Manufacturing and selling comes after.

Akida is in the market - you can buy it!

But, license revenue is where the big bucks are, and we are still waiting for BRN customers to build THEIR PRODUCTS using Akida IP.

BRN customers are somewhere on that 1 to 9 scale developing THEIR PRODUCTS that incorporate Akida boards, chips or Akida IP fabricated into new silicon circuits.

Some may already be past steps 1 to 9 and have moved onto manufacturing and selling. We don't know (NDA's and all that). Although we do know that the Unigen Cupcake edge AI server is now entering the manufacturing stage.

We'll know when (and if) the BRN customers tell us, but more likley when we start seeing license revenue growing in the quarterly 4Cs.

We are literally waiting for (guess-estimated) 50 companies to work through Steps 1 to 9.
And BRN has a large team of technical customer support people helping them to do it.
