Description
SEA CHANGE VI
Score Rationale
The award description 'SEA CHANGE VI' provides no explicit mention of AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or deliverables—only a project name suggesting this is Phase 6 of a legacy program with unclear scope. Problem framing is absent entirely; no operational context, end-user need, or success criteria are articulated. JHU APL is a large federally-funded research center (FFRDC), not an AI-native startup, indicating this is traditional defense R&D contracting rather than evidence of modern AI procurement.
