In this instructional segment, Stacy Chin emphasizes that SBIR reviewers often grasp information more readily through visual elements than dense text. She advises applicants to incorporate clearly labeled schematics, photographs, and flowcharts that succinctly illustrate how their innovation functions. These visuals not only provide an alternative perspective that can clarify the invention but also break up the monotony of continuous black‑and‑white prose, thereby enhancing the overall readability and impact of the proposal.

Now, it's important to know that some reviewers might digest information easier through figures and visuals rather than boring black and white text. And so for that reason, you'll want to include schematics, photos, or flowcharts that summarizes how the innovation works with labels that points out each of these features very clearly. And providing these visuals can add so much value to your SBIR application since these serve as an excellent excellent tool to help reviewers understand the innovation in a completely different way. Plus, this also helps to break up the monotony of the boring black and white text on paper.
