Technology evaluation is the analysis of innovativeness, marketability, business value, etc. of technology and the results are provided in terms of monetary value, ranking, comments, etc. Quantitative assessment of businesses is usually provided in the form of credit ratings, but start-up businesses or businesses that rely on technological innovation are currently unable to receive proper assessment in today’s market due to credit evaluation ratings (financial ratings) because the assessments of these businesses cannot be quantified or the businesses receive low assessments.
