Identify what’s commercial ready with the Readiness Curve

Underpinning Currence’s data, research, and models

The Currence Readiness Curve helps you evaluate the maturity and traction of emerging technologies across the energy transition, from technology readiness to economic competitiveness. Quickly identify the solutions that are ready to scale today, gaining momentum, or still playing catch up.

How many companies does Compass cover?

60,000+ companies across the physical economy, spanning energy, power, industrials, manufacturing, and frontier sectors including robotics, physical AI, space, and advanced materials. Coverage is continuously expanding.

How granular is the sector taxonomy?

1,300+ sectors, built by sector experts to be granular enough that you can find the specific companies and technologies relevant to your thesis. Examples range from established categories like grid-scale storage and hydrogen electrolysis to frontier areas like autonomous construction and orbital infrastructure.

How do you assess technology readiness?

Each technology profile includes a proprietary Readiness Score that combines cost and performance benchmarks, deployment evidence, and commercial traction indicators. This answers the practical question: is this technology commercially real, and is it competitive?

What are Sector Compasses?

40 Sector Compasses are currently published, covering areas like gridtech, robotics applications, water, adaptation, critical minerals, and more. Each is built by our research team with deep domain expertise, combining KPIs, value chain mapping, market structure analysis, and company positioning into a view you can act on. New Compasses are added on a rolling basis and refreshed quarterly with new entrants, deal activity, commercialization milestones, and market shifts.

What are Tech Profiles?

Tech Profiles help you validate which technologies are real, competitive, and best-fit. Each profile combines proprietary Currence Readiness scores, cost and performance benchmarks, and diagrams so you can see which technologies are commercially viable, which are competitive, and where the trade-offs lie. Includes low and high benchmarks across capex, efficiency, energy intensity, delivered costs, and more so you can compare technologies, assess cost curves, and focus on what's gaining traction.

Who is Compass built for?

Three primary audiences: energy and utility corporate innovation teams evaluating technologies, potential partners, and acquisition targets, investors (growth equity, PE, climate/infra funds) building conviction and sourcing deals, and banks identifying where to build coverage and which companies are far enough along to work with.

What geographies do you cover?

Compass is global. Companies, deals, and investors are tracked across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets. Coverage depth varies by sector maturity and deal activity, with the strongest depth in the US and Europe.

Where does the company and deal data come from?

We pull from a combination of public and proprietary sources, including:

- Public filings and regulatory disclosures
- Press releases, trade press, and corporate announcements
- Funding round disclosures and investor reports
- Partnership and offtake announcements
- Direct research by our research team, including validation with market participants (startups, investors)

All company and deal data is sourced through our own research. We do not pull from third-party data feeds like PitchBook or Crunchbase.
