DoD SBIR Phase I ReviewIndependent Technical Review

THGM — Denied-Environment Communications

Technical issue
Nonlinear acoustic and telluric claims were presented as one untested chain.
Delivered artifact
A scoring-risk summary, mission and topic-alignment repair, a stage-by-stage transduction-chain audit with milestone-mapped go/no-go gates, and a list of required proposal rewrites.

DOE / ARPA-E Repair MemoIndependent Technical Review

PBMAC — Energy Materials Measurement Program

Technical issue
Advocacy replaced a testable measurement program.
Delivered artifact
A missing-measurement map naming five never-before-performed experiments, a reproducibility-bottleneck analysis, and a rewrite-ready technical-volume outline aligned to DOE/ARPA-E scoring criteria.

Technical Due Diligence ReviewIndependent Technical Review

Non-Contact EM Turbulence Sensor

Technical issue
Fluid-class claims exceeded viable signal-to-noise.
Delivered artifact
Fluid-class GO, CONDITIONAL, and NO-GO investment verdicts, a five-stage measurement-chain risk audit, and a four-aim Stage 1 liquid-metal demonstrator roadmap with a beachhead market recommendation.

Engineering SpecificationRepresentative Work Product

Hydraulic Quarter-Wave Stub Pulsation Suppressor

Technical issue
No analytical design specification existed.
Delivered artifact
A fabrication-ready specification with closed-form stub dimensions, junction and placement rules, an installation procedure, and a five-point acceptance-test protocol.

Invention DisclosureRepresentative Work Product

Acoustic Marx Amplifier

Technical issue
No prosecution roadmap or reduction-to-practice clearance existed.
Delivered artifact
A prosecution-risk table across novelty, obviousness, enablement, and written description; a domain-variable parity table with a worked enablement example; and independent and dependent claim sketches for attorney handoff. Not legal advice.

Terahertz-Band Polariton Induction Emitter

Technical issue
The configuration envelope and thermalization condition were undefined.
Delivered artifact
A configuration-by-configuration GO, CONDITIONAL, and NO-GO verdict table, an eight-stage physics-chain audit, a twelve-item failure-mode register, and a five-signature experimental confirmation protocol.
