Many companies can claim defence relevance. Far fewer can demonstrate it.
Defence investment, dual-use innovation, sovereign capability, and industrial policy are converging into a new growth environment. DURI™, the Dual-Use Readiness Index™, is FelixClark's proprietary framework for determining whether a company is merely defence-adjacent or genuinely dual-use ready.
For advisory firms, law firms, and financial institutions, DURI™ provides a structured, defensible way to open higher-quality conversations with dual-use clients, without requiring the partner to become the defence-market expert. It converts broad claims into a scored view of fit, evidence, risk, capital readiness, and sovereign alignment, and ends in a practical 90–180 day roadmap.
Get startedDURI™ translates defence-adjacent potential into dual-use readiness.
What it is
A proprietary assessment and advisory framework for evaluating whether a company has a credible pathway into defence, dual-use, mission, sovereign-capability, or national-security-aligned markets.
What it changes
It moves teams from broad claims of defence relevance to a structured view of readiness, evidence, risk, capital fit, operational relevance, and strategic next steps.
What it is not
DURI™ is not a government certification, procurement approval, NATO endorsement, investment recommendation, valuation opinion, or guarantee of funding, procurement, or adoption.
This brochure explains the assessment categories and client value. The underlying scoring logic, evidence standards, weighting, and risk thresholds remain proprietary to FelixClark.
Every assessment answers five questions
- 1Is it real?Technical maturity
- 2Is it useful?Operational relevance
- 3Is it adoptable?Market pathway
- 4Is it fundable?Capital readiness
- 5Is it aligned?Sovereign priorities
