In very general terms, the ability to apply a specific result(s) obtained in a specific situation to other similar situations. However, you have to have a good reason to believe that your result(s) is/are in fact generalizable to these other situations. Many a Ph.D. student defending their dissertations have been slammed for failing to provide a sufficiently good rationale (or good evidence) for claiming that their results can be applied to more general situations than the ones they have investigated in the laboratory.
