Innovation Radiation Map
See how a single Q4 synthesis radiates breakthrough solutions across adjacent and distant domains — illustrated by three historical innovations.
How to Use
- Select an innovation from the dropdown (Toyota Production System, Internet Protocol, GPS).
- Click the central gold star to see the synthesis that was achieved.
- Click any domain node to see how the synthesis was adapted for that domain and what impact it produced.
- Edge thickness indicates strength of structural analogy — thicker = closer adaptation.
- Blue nodes are inner-ring (direct) applications; green nodes are outer-ring (indirect) radiation.
Learning Objective
Analyze (Bloom L4) the propagation pattern of breakthrough innovations and evaluate (L5) which adjacent domains are most likely to benefit from a given synthesis.
