That's a great question. I agree. Without measurement, we don't have data to act on.
I would build on that, though. When I get engaged with other government funding programs in looking at how they evaluate intellectual property as part of that—never mind commercial success if that's not being measured—the IP measurement is an identification of what is foreground IP and what is future IP or background IP, so that they can track what money has been used to create what IP.
There is no consideration or evaluation of the value of that IP and how it's going to be used to further their business. There's no framework for that evaluation. That skill set is not in that math, so that's something that needs to be built.
