Prime, subcontractor, and STTR

Define the workshare before the proposal clock runs out.

Raven can lead a software-centered SBIR or STTR effort, own a defined software package under a prime, or turn a research institution’s method into working experiment software.

Choose the relationship

Raven as prime

Raven can own the technical approach, software execution, partner integration, delivery cadence, and integrated handoff.

Discuss Raven as prime

Raven as subcontractor

Raven can deliver an application, API, simulation, data, test, or integration package under the prime’s schedule and system boundary.

Define a subcontract

STTR collaboration

The research institution leads the method and domain research. Raven implements the software, experiment tooling, tests, and transition artifacts.

Plan an STTR team

Proposal inputs

  • Solicitation, topic, or opportunity link and deadline
  • Current capture stage and desired relationship
  • Research objective and central technical uncertainty
  • Known interfaces, data, hardware, platform, repository, security, and transition constraints
  • The question the prototype or experiment must answer

Capture through handoff

  • Capture: confirm fit, relationship, software boundary, and inputs.
  • Proposal: write the technical approach, workshare, milestones, and outputs.
  • Kickoff and build: pin interfaces and deliver working increments with tests.
  • Handoff: transfer source, configuration, deployment steps, and open risks.
