Description
ONI REPOSITORY FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ADVERSARY (ORCA)
Score Rationale
ORCA is framed as a 'repository' and 'characterization' system — language suggesting data infrastructure, curation, or intelligence database work rather than ML model development or AI system deployment. No AI/ML techniques are named in the description. JHU/APL is a federally funded research center (FFRDC) — effectively a legacy defense institution, not an AI-native startup, disqualifying it from the awardee quality dimension entirely.
