“…SLR incorporates TRL and Integration Readiness Levels (IRL)measurement of the interactions of various technologies and comparison of the maturity between integration points [16]. The model is applicable to different applications and architectures [19] thus supports the socio-technical framework developed for implementation of DLT in construction. However, it focuses solely on technological systems and their interaction with other technologies; it is missing the interrelation between technologies and the remaining dimensions of process, policy and social as in the DLT Four-Dimensional Model.…”

Applications and uses cases of distributed ledger technology (DLT) are increasingly attracting interest in the construction industry. However, DLT in construction is still considered a nascent field of research and practical applications of DLT in construction are at the very early readiness stages. This paper builds on a previously developed socio-technical systems framework for DLT in construction (i.e. Li et al., 2019) built on four dimensions of technical, process, policy and social, and proposes a roadmap to achieving readiness for macro adoption of DLT in the construction industry. First, the paper reviews existing readiness and adoption models and technology roadmaps for new technological innovations in the context of DLT highlighting their strengths and detailing why they are not suitable for DLT. Then, drawing on experience of existing models as a basis, it proposes a four-stage roadmap to readiness for adoption of DLT in the construction industry. The four-stage DLT Roadmap incorporates Conceptualisation, Appraisal, Preparation and Implementation. This roadmap is intended to provide the industry with a comprehensive framework to support adoption and diffusion of DLT for specific use cases. Future work will involve proposal of guidelines for each of the four dimensions across the four-stage DLT Roadmap and testing through workshop-identified use cases of DLT in construction.

“…A significant advancement in technology development assessment is the ability to quantify a technology's readiness in terms of readiness of internal system integration between components, provided by Sauser's System Readiness Level (SRL) [35]. Since the creation of the SRL, further developments have been made linking technology development assessment with system-of-systems and systems engineering architectures [42]- [44].…”

The author proposes a novel methodology to overcome the outstanding challenges in accurately assessing technology readiness for final real-world applications.The Engineering Severity Level (ESL) is a conceptual methodology that provides a simple, standardised, and quantitative method for assessing technology suitability in relation to realworld environments.It is a standalone assessment concept that offers advantages in generating an evidence base for accurate technology readiness assessment and early identification of developmental roadblocks derived from real-world requirements. Moreover, the methodology can be applied as a universal basis to enhance the Technical Readiness Level (TRL) classification assessment criteria. The benefits are exemplified in assessing quantum technologies for Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) requirements in Defence applications.

<p>This paper proposes a novel methodology to overcome the outstanding challenges in effectively assessing technology maturity to final real-world applications. The Engineering Severity Level (ESL) is a conceptual tool that provides a simple, standardised and quantitative method of assessing technology suitability to real-world environments. It is a standalone tool offering advantages in generating an evidence base for accurate technology maturity assessment and early identification of developmental roadblocks. Moreover, the tool can be applied as a universal basis to enhance TRL classification and provide further context and quantitative analysis. The benefits are exemplified in the assessment of quantum technologies for Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) requirements in Defence applications.</p>
