Sustainable-inputs companies, for instance, are weighing the breadth of their R&D pipelines, recognizing that it is possible to “prove the platform” with a smaller number of new products than they may ultimately be capable of producing.

Meanwhile, established (but nonstrategic) business lines can be monetized through divestitures or licensing arrangements to bring in capital.
