Boarhog Logic™ is a proprietary framework for rapid, relevant, and cost-effective Technology Assessments. Born from the reality that over 100,000 small businesses disappeared from federal contracting between 2012–2017, it creates a governance structure involving government, academia, small businesses, and OEMs. The methodology includes Environment Fidelity assessments, quantitative scoring across mission requirements, operational constraints, and acquisition feasibility.
