Problem
The team had technical performance reports but no submission ready to send. The draft needed compliance fixes and a commercialization plan an NSIC reviewer could score.
What I did
I checked the draft against the solicitation before working on the story. Then I rewrote the technical performance in language reviewers could evaluate and framed the product for both defense and commercial markets without the two cases contradicting each other.
I also wrote the pitch deck content the CTO presented.
Result
The submission went in compliant, with a commercial case that holds up. The positioning was reused in later pitch material.
