This article provides an authors' view on the phenomenon of the paradox of skill in the transfer of technologies (innovations). The impact of Mauboussin's success equation on sports, economy, education and science is analyzed. The authors proposed that the paradox of skill may be used to improve the efficiency of innovation transfer. The algorithm for evaluating the level of readiness of a product for implementation on different scales from the point of view of the concept of the paradox of skill is given. Suppose we have the same skill level as our competitors, and the luck factor is problematic. In that case, we must first provide a deeper analysis of the level of product readiness to improve skills and minimize failure through forecasting and risk assessment. The proposed algorithm allows the maximal evaluate the skill at each stage of the analysis of the product's readiness level according to different classification scales. It reduces the risks of loss of skill according to Mauboussin's approach. In addition, this algorithm determines the possibility of using artificial intelligence and neural networks to increase success in technology transfer.
