Will it be pitched commercially at a price anyone outside academia and the art world can afford?
We don't use half the techniques currently available due to cost, OSL springs to mind speaking as someone currently enmeshed in a programme with wince-inducing bills and another where we've got the samples but I suspect that's as far as it's going to go.....C14 and dendro are popular because they're cheap, cheerful, and gives a 'simple' one-off result (actually the last few times I've had dendro done they haven't been able to match the sequence, but am bound to strike lucky eventually and chainsaws are always fun)
