Most commonly used in a Sports setting - think baseball - the term 'Stats' references the rigorous and systematic processing of data relevant to a particular field of endeavor.
In that context, quality analytical tools and careful definition of relevant types of Stats - also as in baseball - can support useful and sometimes powerful range of strategy development and relevant business decisions.
Thinking about the diversity that is SBIR with over 23,500 technology-based companies - 6000+ currently active - across the full range of business applications as the equivalent to a "living lab" providing precisely these type of insights, usefully framing the discussion around
- what SBIR Reauthorization should actually look like
- how a particular agency's program efforts could (perhaps) be (more) productively managed
- how most effectively to address the business development options of particular awardees
- by what means - as is the focus here - can we most efectively draw down more of the value of what SBIR Awardees collectively have created.
Though still among the most comprehensive sources of searchable awards data - and arguably the very first such resource having been originally instituted in 1984 - it should be stressed that the primary focus of data collection for our powerful relational systems is compilation of a range of data indicative the technological capabilities and business condition of SBIR-STTR Awardees
To that end, whatever the extent of their SBIR-STTR involvement and current status, in our offline systems we meticulously keep the detail of the SBIR record, tracking a range of other useful data on every SBIR-STTR involved firm to include firms having out-grown the program or moved on to other endeavor as well as the most recent new awardees. Systematicaly to mine the veritable treasure trove of information - collective and individual - we have developed (and continue to develop) useful routines, powerful algorithms, along with a range of other tools and techniques.

Pro-active use of Full System Data
Still among the most comprehensive sources of searchable SBIR-STTR awards data - and arguably the very first such resource - it should be stressed the primary focus of data collection for our powerful relational systems is compilation of a range of data indicative the technological capabilities and business condition of awardees. A more recent emphasis - but of similarly critical consequence - is on the economic development impact of SBIR-STTR engagement: high(er) job creation with the associated ripple impact of other jobs created in the community.
To that end, in our offline systems we track a range of other useful data on every SBIR-STTR involved firm to include firms long since out of business, those having out-grown the program or moved on to other endeavor.
- Overview of SBIR-STTR Awardee: Business identifier and useful Company Business Profile; Year founded; Employment and Revenue range; Management team - many with bios; Present SBIR status; other Names by which firm has been previously known; Address history
- Patent holdings to include all relevant fiing and issuances info; Full Abstract and Claims; citations
- Licensing activity in- and out
- Extent, Form and Sources of Venture Capital as applicable: aggregate info and detailed analytics
- Overview of Mergers and Acquisitions activity: aggregate info and analytics
- Publicly traded listings - as applicable and to include IPO and post-IPO funding details
- Extensive Publication and Media coverage; Professional presentations and publications

Public Sector players
At both Federal and State levels, Public Sector has considerable interest and involvement in SBIR-STTR:
- Federal agencies as the source of funding and, for mission agencies, often a first-adoption customer for developed technologies
- State entities because - whatever the extent and scale of SBIR-STTR involvement - there is a sometimes considerable (rarely trivial) in-state economic impact.
The approach here has been to provide
- useful search capabilities specific to Awardees in each Agency and in each State to include data elements that are not typically available elsewhere
- powerful analyses across a range of variables not compiled by any other source
Interesting in their own right - not previously published nor elsewhere available - this approach serves well to provide
- valuable insights into how the Programs are being used, supported and managed by different sources and locations
- with useful indications to those managing these efforts re. how they stack up against their peers and how they might learn from the approach of others
