Executive summary
Current state
NSF awarded PAVEX LLC $305,000 in SBIR Phase I funding for AI road condition assessment technology, creating a capital influx without corresponding commercial infrastructure. The company has patent-pending AI technology but zero market adoption, distribution channels, or procurement capacity.
Market catalyst
PAVEX's patent covers AI assessment but leaves unprotected the critical GIS data preprocessing methodology required for their system to function, creating an IP choke point.
