Consulting Methods
Red team review.
A rigorous, PM-perspective critique of a near-final draft — the same lens a federal review team would apply.
The Method
Read your proposal as reviewers will read it, before they do.
A red team review takes a near-final draft and reads it the way an unfriendly reviewer or a busy program manager would — looking for the framing weaknesses, the feasibility gaps, and the places the argument starts to fray under close reading.
Dr. Spotz brings the same PM-side rigor he applied to almost $300M of ASCR research to your draft. Expect direct, unvarnished feedback aimed at making the final submission stronger — not encouragement.
What's Included
How the engagement works.
- Full red-team read of your draft with written, PM-perspective feedback.
- Callouts on framing, feasibility, mission fit, and reviewer-facing clarity.
- Prioritized list of the recommended revisions before submission.
- Live debrief session to walk through the feedback in detail.
- Available across scientific proposal, SBIR, and institutional support engagements.
