Word-of-mouth is key here I think, rather than one entity placing itself as a single source of truth. I think the unfortunate side-effect of these and similar tech retrospectives, is that they deepen a certain top-down view of technology; that new innovations fit neatly into pre-established categories of accept/reject, whereas reality is far less clear-cut and organisable in neat quadrants. To me, an immediate improvement would be to display user issues and workarounds along the newly reported technologies. Or why someone tried it and then left if on the shelf. Possibly in context of a multi-team project. Not a full write-up is needed here, but some practical user stories and anecdata alongside the current summary/ranking on the adoption radar would go a long way.
