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.
