Maybe you need to start by questioning the series of assumptions that have led you to have "100%" certainty in something? Presumably if you were correct, then you would be having a different experience by now.

Well I'm not certain in anyway about the process of selling patents. I'm a computer scientist though and I've consulted enough trusted colleagues to validate that the technology is valuable and works to solve problems real businesses need.
It's kinda like inventing a battery that is twice as efficient, and the same or better in every other way. You can be 100% sure Tesla or Toyota would buy the technology, without even being 3% sure where to start.
