Executive summary
Current state
NSF awarded $304k SBIR Phase I funding to ISEECHANGE for AI flood mapping technology, creating validated R&D capital but exposing a commercialization gap when the grant expires December 2026. The structural asymmetry is between government-validated research merit and the market deployment resources the small business lacks.
Market catalyst
ISEECHANGE's Public Access Mandate requires open publication of research outputs, allowing third parties to legally use their validated flood mapping algorithms to build community platforms that capture the trust and user base ISEECHANGE lacks resources to develop.
