Obsolescence Risk Formula

Risk = (Age Factor + Tech Evolution + Innovation Rate) / Support Life

To calculate obsolescence risk, we consider product age relative to its expected lifespan, the rate of technological evolution in its category, industry innovation speed, and the remaining manufacturer support period. Higher scores indicate greater risk of becoming obsolete.
