General federal SBIR proposal consulting.
Program-manager-perspective consulting for SBIR-eligible small businesses submitting to federal SBIR topics where scientific-computing framing matters.
Federal SBIR has a shared shape, agency by agency.
Beyond DOE, federal SBIR programs share a common structure — but each agency reads proposals with its own priorities. When your technical work is scientific-computing-adjacent (applied math, HPC, scientific ML, or data analysis), a reviewer with real federal program experience can tell you quickly what will land and what will not.
Dr. Spotz consults with SBIR-eligible small businesses across federal SBIR programs where his scientific-computing and program-manager background is directly useful. Expect direct, PM-side feedback rather than generic proposal-writing advice.
How the engagement works.
- Full read of your federal SBIR draft against the target topic.
- Written feedback on technical framing and commercialization narrative.
- PM-perspective notes on how the proposal reads to a federal reviewer.
- Live debrief to walk through the recommendations.
- Optional pre-submission read in the final days before deadline.
