my five cents: a) aim at reproducibility, whatever the COP or power-level. b) produce a working hypothesis c) investigate 'ash' and side-effects: radiation, energy bursts, etc. d) repeat (a), (b), (c) until convergence a robust 'theory-experiment'- loop is established. e) aim for 'commercial' level.
Jumping to (e) prematurely is futile, quack, nonsensical. Commerce and science do not mix easily, to be polite. Please spare me Edison or Tesla. Bad examples. Galvani being a better one.

Fwiw, he seems to be an advocate of an electron capture kind of hypothesis as opposed to a fusion kind of hypothesis. Electron capture hypotheses roughly substitute the miracle of coming up with a missing ~0.8MeV (along with some quantum mumbo jumbo) for the miracle of crossing the Coulomb barrier (and a different set of quantum mumbo jumbo). Sorry to anyone I might offend with this offhand comment. ;-) From what little he says, his views seems distinct from Widom-Larson. This was discussed in the group recently. Jeff
