Don,

I was reading your posted articles... firstly on measuring knowledge and secondly the intellect or intellectual capital...

By both statements, a simple question arises. How do I get from a measured knowledge (possibly intellect) to intellectual capital? what comes in my mind is that there is a process towards the filling of the gap before actually Profit can be generated.

For instance, if a software company develops a product (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape or so on) than the software developers have an idea to generate a new innovation. However an idea is not sufficient to generate the 'profit'. Sometimes there is a strategic decision, whether an imperfect product should be refined on the market or not (e.g. e-learning). The assumption is that there is a break-even point, which leads the innovation to be launched or not and the only way I see a resolution is a precise measurement of the knowledge cycle.

So my actual question, how would you measure the knowledge during a development process to say a product or service is sufficiently matured and ready to be introduced on the market?

I hope that this gives you another angle to look at the measurement of knowledge, because I don't see the actual impetus of your schemeta on the process. The basic idea I am having is, if you can determine the emergence of knowledge (e.g. over time) than you can introduce new technology related solution to increase efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge management approaches.
