Pre-Submission Technical Coherence Review

For SBIR/STTR, R&D grants, technical volumes, investor diligence packets, and complex proposal drafts that need reviewer-risk diagnosis before submission. InTelluric reviews the technical logic of the proposal: claims, mechanisms, evidence, milestones, failure modes, and reviewer objections. The output is not generic editing. It is a fixed-scope technical repair map.

Review method

01

Extract claims

Every technical, commercial, or feasibility claim is separated from proposal prose.

02

Identify mechanism

Each claim is mapped to the physical, biological, computational, or operational mechanism that must make it true.

03

Inventory evidence

Present support, missing evidence, controls, and contradictory risks are identified.

04

Define Phase I tests

Unproven links become measurements, models, controls, or go/no-go gates.

05

Repair reviewer framing

The proposal is rewritten around feasibility, not aspiration.
