A demonstration of what a weekly prospect brief could look like for DCAA / GovCon accounting and readiness firms, using real public SBIR.gov award and company-history records.
Verified against SBIR.gov 2026 award records and company profiles on September 15, 2026.
First SBIR/STTR award on record; one employee; no prior Phase II awards. Strongest public-data proxy for a company that may be building federal-contract accounting processes for the first time.
First SBIR/STTR award on record and no Phase II history. The current Navy Phase I award is relatively large for this cohort.
Very small team, a fresh DARPA Phase I award, and only one Phase II award despite multiple Phase I awards. Potential readiness conversation, but not a first-time federal R&D awardee.
Small team with limited Phase II history relative to Phase I history. Current Navy award creates a fresh timing signal, though the company is not new to SBIR.
Small workforce and a fresh Navy Phase I award, but the company already has two Phase II awards. More likely a selective prospect than a first-time readiness buyer.
Fresh, high-dollar DARPA Phase I award, but meaningful prior Phase II experience lowers the likelihood that basic Phase II accounting-readiness support is new.
Small team and a fresh Navy award, but decades of SBIR/STTR experience and 21 Phase II awards make this a low-confidence readiness lead despite the company size.
Current Navy Phase I creates a timing trigger, but prior Phase II experience suggests the company is already familiar with later-stage federal R&D contracting.
This sample intentionally uses a simple, inspectable heuristic rather than pretending to know a firm's actual accounting maturity.
A production beta would need to test whether these public proxies actually improve outreach conversion. That is the purpose of the private-beta validation.
