== A Simple Test ==

~~For~~ a ~~quick test on a subject's relevance to~~ deep tech, ~~ask the following~~ question:

If you’re trying to decide whether a project qualifies as deep tech, start with this simple question:

{| ~~class~~="~~wikitable";~~ background:#f8f9fa;"

{| style="background-color: #f8f9fa; border-left: 5px solid #2a4b8d; width: 100%; margin-bottom: 15px;"

| style="padding:~~1em~~;" | ''Does this work go beyond standard product development with meaningful scientific discovery, advanced engineering, or original research?''

| style="padding: 8px; font-size: 110%; color: #333;" |

''Does this work go beyond standard product development with meaningful scientific discovery, advanced engineering, or original research?''

|}

If the answer is yes, ~~this project is deep tech~~.

If the answer is '''yes''', you're likely looking at Deep Tech.

* Intellectual property protection (i.e. patents) for core technologies

* PhD-level expertise as part of the startup team or as advisory

~~These~~ are just helpful markers. A startup may have none of these features but still be recognised as Deep Tech.

The above are just helpful markers but are neither definitive or exhaustive. A startup may have none of these features but still be recognised as a Deep Tech startup.
