How it works
One upload in, two expert reads out.
Hand us one thing
Paste your draft pitch, abstract, summary or notes — or upload a PDF. No form, no account. If you have nothing written yet, five short questions works too.
Get a double diagnosis — free
Two of our skills read your material: the Five Questions Diagnostic scores commercialization readiness, and the Pitch Stage Builder reads you against the actual DOE FY26 Genesis Mission Phase I pitch requirements.
Answer what only you can
Both reads flag the gaps only you can fill — a feasibility milestone, your PI's credentials, named competitors. Reply in the chat and we re-run, sharper each time.
Act on it
Create a free workspace to save your results and keep working on them — plus coaching and office hours through the deadline.
Beyond this page
The full catalog runs inside your AI assistant.
These two skills are a taste. The Catalyzing Concepts connector puts the full commercialization catalog — market landscape, competitive analysis, IP landscape, financial modeling, TABA proposals, commercialization plans — inside Claude or ChatGPT, working from your own venture's knowledge base.
See how the connector works →Weekly office hours
Every week we run live office hours for Catalyzing Concepts community members. Bring your application draft, your gaps list, or the thing you cannot get unstuck - and work it through with a team that has sat on your side of a Phase II deadline across 200+ engagements. During active cycles like DOE Genesis, sessions prioritize submission questions. Sessions are scheduled through our booking link, and every community member gets access.

Questions
Is this really free?
Yes. Both reads are free for everyone through the current Genesis cycle — no account and no email required. Create a free workspace only if you want to save them and keep working.
What is the DOE FY26 Genesis Mission pitch stage?
DOE's FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR opportunity starts with a Phase I pitch: a short, structured submission with hard requirements on sections, lengths, and award caps (up to $250,000, or $256,500 with TABA). Our Pitch Stage Builder reads your inputs against the verified requirements of that exact solicitation.
What happens to my answers?
Your results render on this page — we don't email them to you. We do store your inputs and results: so a refresh doesn't re-run them, so they can be waiting in your workspace if you sign up, and so we can improve the tool. We never publish or share them, and if you never give us an email we delete the run after 30 days.
What is the connector?
Catalyzing Concepts skills run inside your own AI assistant — Claude or ChatGPT — through our connector. Your workspace, your knowledge base, our commercialization methods. This page is a taste of two skills; the connector carries the full catalog.
The deadline isn't moving. Your readiness can.
