Data: SBIR.gov award records + USAspending.gov prime contracts, matched by recipient name. Follow-on dollars are association, not causation — they show where this firm's later federal prime-contract dollars landed, not that SBIR work caused them. Follow-on figures for this firm are floors: USAspending is queried for its 100 largest contracts, and this firm reaches that cap. Methodology
