SBIR/STTR R&D
Focused prototypes for federal mission problems.
VISIMO is built around federal R&D execution. We identify mission-relevant technical gaps, design scoped feasibility efforts, build working prototypes, evaluate against baselines, and produce clear transition evidence for government stakeholders.
R&D model
Our R&D model
Step 1
Frame the decision
Step 2
Build the evidence layer
Step 3
Model the uncertainty
Step 4
Design for human review
Step 5
Evaluate and transition
Best-fit topics
Software-first prototypes with measurable feasibility.
VISIMO is strongest when the topic requires a software-first AI prototype that can be evaluated with public, synthetic, simulated, or sponsor-provided data.
Model validation
AI assurance
Adaptive test planning
Knowledge systems
Forecasting under uncertainty
Geospatial risk
Simulation-backed evaluation
Explainable AI
Human-machine teaming
Secure prototype development
Transition-ready software artifacts
Topic fit criteria
How VISIMO evaluates opportunities
Strong-fit signals
Signals- Software-first feasibility
- Clear user decision or workflow
- Available public, synthetic, simulated, or sponsor-provided data
- A measurable baseline
- Human-reviewable outputs
- Evidence, uncertainty, or auditability requirements
- A realistic Phase II or Phase III path
Signals for additional teaming
Signals- Hardware-centered innovation
- Field testing as the main feasibility event
- Classified data required before feasibility can be shown
- Large enterprise deployment requirements
- Deep domain authority needed beyond VISIMO's core expertise
- No clear evaluation method
Next step
Turn a mission question into a testable prototype.
VISIMO works with federal stakeholders, primes, research institutions, and technical collaborators on focused AI R&D efforts where software, data, and model evaluation can create practical mission value.
