It’s an estimating (or guesstimating) tool that provides a useful indication of how your invention compares to others and in turn, how likely it is to succeed. The Inventicator™ is more like a chainsaw than a scalpel. Default answers are provided for each question and if you don’t know the answer you can use the default choice. In each of eight categories you are asked a series of questions and click on drop down menus and check-boxes to choose answers. The mechanics of using the Inventicator™ are easy. Scores below 35 indicate a product will likely have difficulties. A score above 100 is special and indicates that a new product idea probably has the right stuff for commercial success. ICQ scores can range from zero to above 200. The attributes are scored, weighted and totalled to produce a number: the Invention Commercialization Quotient or ICQ. Instead of disclosing details of what your invention does and how it works, you answer questions to match attributes that describe it. The Inventicator™ offers a unique way to consider whether or not a new product idea is likely to achieve commercial success.
