Questions and exclusions

Required questions

1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
   Does the official source support the opportunity identity, status, timing, eligibility, and access constraints?
2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
   Is the proposed fit specific and proportionate without implying availability, invitation, selection, or funding?
3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
   What deadline, rule, jurisdiction, cost, conflict, or accessibility fact would change the proposed next action?

Explicit exclusions

• Review does not submit, register, apply, contact, commit, purchase, or establish eligibility.
• Provider prestige and apparent fit cannot replace current official terms.

Requested controlled scopes: ecosystem-due-diligence, opportunity-eligibility-access

Frozen-evidence decision window: 30 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.

Complete primary record set

Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.

   Provider

   U.S. Department of Energy

   Kind

   Non-dilutive R&D

   Timing

   Active FY26 Phase I Genesis Mission solicitation; the official hub lists a September 10, 2026 submission deadline at 2:00 p.m. The application portal was still described as coming soon, with account requests available.

   Fit

   Biotechnology, materials, autonomous labs, and energy

   Status

   active

   Verified At

   2026-07-25

   Current Until

   2026-08-01

   Eligibility

   Applicant must qualify as a U.S. for-profit small business concern with no more than 500 employees and qualifying U.S. ownership and control. Work must be performed in the United States; SBIR and STTR have different principal-investigator, partner, and work-share rules.

   Access Notes

   This release is limited to four Genesis topics: biotechnology, AI for quantum systems, materials design, and AI-driven autonomous laboratories. It is a competitive Phase I pathway, not general company funding; required registrations and the official application instructions control.

   Founder Action

   Map only a concrete, experimentally testable Autonomous Habitat Assurance or autonomous-laboratory wedge to an exact topic, document U.S. small-business eligibility and registrations, and seek separate authorization before requesting an account or applying.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official DOE and ConnectWerx pages reviewed. They describe the July 22 opening, topic areas, deadline, eligibility framework, and application transition. The detailed solicitation and portal state can change, and no topic fit, eligibility, account, or award has been established.

   Relationship

   indexed only; no formal relationship

   Action Status

   proposed; not undertaken

   Conflicts

   Federal award terms, foreign-relationship disclosures, data rights, commercialization requirements, and the project's civil-and-defensive dual-use boundary require legal and policy review.

   What Would Change

   The final topic documents, portal opening, deadline amendments, eligibility guidance, award terms, or a broader planned fall Phase I release would materially change this entry.

Frozen source snapshots

Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.

Offline packet and worksheet

Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.

Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.

Packet schema · JSON · Decision-bundle schema · JSON

Validate offline

Use Node.js 22.13.0 or later. Keep the packet, worksheet, completed decision, and all six kit files together in a local directory.

1. Download the six kit files below. Complete a copy of the JSON template offline and preserve its templateFingerprint.
2. Finalize a separate output file.

   node finalize-review-decision.mjs \
     --input DRAFT.json \
     --output COMPLETED.json

   This marks the copy complete and calculates an unkeyed canonical bundle fingerprint. A fingerprint detects changes; it is not a reviewer signature.

3. Validate the packet and completed copy.

   node check-review-decisions.mjs \
     --packet PACKET.json \
     --decision COMPLETED.json

   Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.

4. Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.
