You’re being asked to evaluate technology on a regular basis. AI platforms. Data tools. Security layers. Integration frameworks. But how do you sort through it all without building a 50-slide deck or chasing vendor hype?
That’s exactly what the Technology Prioritization Index (TPI) Mini Reports are for.
These short, focused summaries give you real-world insights into 25 technology domains. TPI reports are built for decision-makers who need clarity, not guesswork.
What Is a TPI Mini Report?
TPI Mini Reports are short-format research summaries created by Galson. Each one provides an at-a-glance view of how a technology domain performs across seven core business criteria:
- Proven Use Cases
- Cost Effectiveness and ROI
- Ease of Use and Integration
- Security and Compliance
- Maturity and Ecosystem
- Market Sentiment
- Adoption Growth
Every domain receives a score from 1 (limited) to 3 (strong) on each factor. Those scores are then rolled into a total score out of 21 and grouped into one of three segments: Foundational, Emerging, or Exploratory.
This structure helps you:
- Understand the business readiness of a domain
- Compare domains using a consistent scoring system
- Use research-backed language in roadmap discussions
How to Use a Mini Report
Mini reports are built to be scanned and shared but also to give you just enough depth to take action. Here’s how to make the most of one:
- Start with the Scorecard
Look at the TPI score out of 21 and the segment (Foundational, Emerging, Exploratory). This gives you quick context for how stable or speculative the domain is.
- Review the Radar Chart
Each report includes a visual breakdown of how the domain scores on each of the seven factors. Use this to spot strengths and limitations based on your team’s priorities.
- Skim the Commentary
Every factor includes a few short paragraphs with real-world observations. These are grounded in analyst research and help explain why a domain scored the way it did.
- Flag What Matters
Each report is designed to prompt conversation. Use it to guide internal discussions around timing, investment, or vendor strategy.
Why It Works
TPI Mini Reports take the guesswork out of technology prioritization. Instead of just Googling trends, you get:
- Scoring that reflects actual business adoption
- Insight into what’s working (and what isn’t)
- A shared structure to align decisions across teams
