English term or phrase: scaling
Contexte : recherche de solutions alternatives de traitement des eaux usées (petite unités d'épuration non centralisées, non reliées au réseau), notamment dans les pays émergents.

- scaling conditions for business models
- scaling innovations in informal settelments

"Understanding the broader complexities of current, heterogeneous sanitation systems with particular focus on the interfaces between these systems is the aim of WXXX. This includes analyzing the enabling environments that support or hinder the successful introduction of these solutions, exploring the ***scaling conditions*** for business models with particular focus on container-based systems, and identifying the challenges and opportunities related to ***scaling innovations*** in informal settlements".

Le sens de scaling dans le présent contexte m'échappe un peu.
Scaling conditions : conditions de mise à l'échelle ??? de modèles commerciaux ??
Scaling innovations ?? je ne comprends pas...

Merci de votre aide

exploring the scaling conditions for business models = exploring the conditions under which it would be possible to apply business models at a larger scale [presumably after they have been tested on small-scale pilot projects, that's how it's usually done]

the challenges and opportunities related to scaling innovations in informal settlements = the challenges and opportunities that exists when trying to implement innovations at a larger scale in informal settlements

dimensionnement


Explanation:
Scaling conditions = nécessité de dimensionner/dimensionnement nécessaire
scaling innovations = dimensions innovantes
