Assess whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive (fd7bc4)

SITUATION Capture manager is responsible for the SBIR data-rights assertions in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR, using contract-mod scope creep log as the only working extract. An incumbent protest rumor on the street is what reset the timeline for this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file.

DECISION Capture manager in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using contract-mod scope creep log after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. An incumbent protest rumor on the street is noise around an already-controlled Protest and Modifications process in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR, given contract-mod scope creep log. 2. An incumbent protest rumor on the street is the event in contract-mod scope creep log that forces Pursue for capture manager under Government RFP. 3. Contract-mod scope creep log shows a one-file miss after an incumbent protest rumor on the street, not a Protest and Modifications program failure. 4. Contract-mod scope creep log cannot decide the SBIR data-rights assertions yet after an incumbent protest rumor on the street; hold is the only Government RFP close a lab competing a Phase II SBIR can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Score competitive posture if capture manager pursues, partners, or no-bids. 2. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a lab competing a Phase II SBIR cannot waive quietly. 3. Map Section L/M requirements in contract-mod scope creep log to evaluator notes after an incumbent protest rumor on the street. 4. For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read contract-mod scope creep log against an incumbent protest rumor on the street and write the one fact that would move the SBIR data-rights assertions for capture manager.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Protest and Modifications packet (contract-mod scope creep log after an incumbent protest rumor on the street). The follow-on Protest and Modifications action is what capture manager does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Government RFP option on the SBIR data-rights assertions, then the evidence in contract-mod scope creep log, then the action for capture manager - Hypothesis scorecard against contract-mod scope creep log: supported / rejected / untestable - Missing page in contract-mod scope creep log after an incumbent protest rumor on the street, if any - Regulatory or exam hook Protest and Modifications would cite
