Our blind material testing protocol — where evaluators assess samples without knowing the supplier or price — was adapted from sensory evaluation methodologies used in the food and beverage industry. Cross-industry methodology transfer is a deliberate practice: solutions that are standard in one industry are often revolutionary in another.
Cross-Industry Methodology Transfer
The material blind-test method was not invented in diapers — it was borrowed from the food industry.
Key Result

Engineering Story
Why Only CORIO
Innovation does not require invention. Sometimes it requires the curiosity to look at how other industries solve analogous problems — and the engineering judgment to adapt those methods.
