In this instructional segment, the presenter outlines a practical method for dissecting reviewer feedback on an SBIR proposal. First, they advise identifying both the strengths (what reviewers liked) and the weaknesses (what needs improvement). Then, they recommend gathering all negative critiques into a Word document, grouping similar comments together, and looking for recurring trends. By pinpointing the areas with the highest concentration of negative feedback, the presenter suggests focusing revision efforts on those primary weaknesses to strengthen the resubmitted application.

Look for what they liked about the proposal, the strengths, and what they think needs improvement, the weaknesses. And this will help you to understand what to focus on when revising your SBIR application. Next, I'd like to dive deep into the weaknesses. I gather all the negative critiques and list them in a Word document and then group together similar critiques. And this helps me to see if there are any common trends or patterns among the critiques. The areas with the most negative critiques are my biggest weaknesses.
