Tech transfer officials and research university administrators need reliable and persuasive evidence of the value of investments in academic research and the benefits of translating their scientific discoveries into products and services. They require measures of economic impact, presented not only in quantitative, analytical terms but also in universally understood qualitative terms of the human, social and economic benefits of tech transfer.

Wellspring also uses experience in comparison group selection to improve initial program design and establishes ideal benchmarks for performance evaluation.
