Isn't the point of the SBIR program to rapidly differentiate ideas that work and don't in small Phase 1 contracts?
There are references you didn't screenshot in that solicitation that explain more about the topic. https://www.sbir.gov/sbirsearch/detail/1254391 …
I agree there's a lot wrong with SBIR: too many wired, Phase 1 $ too low, paperwork overhead too high, sponsors don't know their own needs
But I think you're mischaracterizing the problem. As a SBIR participant, it's *very* hard to understand how anyone gets rich off this.
There seem to be a bunch of companies who have figured out how to scale this. They pay contractors and just run through lots of these.
SBIR review considers past commercialization efforts in future proposals to try and discourage that. It should definitely get stricter.
You wanna keep mansplaining the field I spent a decade in or....
For the companies I know that receive SBIR $, they're a godsend that lets them attempt products from research, my company included.
Sorry, I can't see how someone with that much experience hasn't also stumbled on some success stories too!

Perhaps the issue with "you can't see" is "you're unwilling to treat critical views as valid."
