• Briefly viewed prototype but had computer issues
• Acquisition process for our product may not be too difficult if the product is relatively inexpensive, could likely be purchased through a simple contract/credit card.
• Issue is, who has the money? LTC Thomas would likely have to lobby either SWCS, USASOC or SOCOM. Process could take months to years depending on politics and who has the money.

• These are the questions we should be asking:
  1. “What is the one thing you want if you could see w/in 20 seconds?”
  2. “What do you think is the most important takeaway from this page?”
  3. “If you were presenting a page for your boss, then what would you include in there?”
• Rank list of priorities for the person to minimize having too many features

• Compare trainees to the “golden references”
• Need golden references for gender, age group – we need to create golden references by other groups
• Figure out average performance of high performers

• “It’s all about progression – what is the baseline is and how do I progress on these various indices from that baseline?”
• Operational GB who have been here many years and have had many deployments would be the golden reference
• Would use it most likely when he is having a one on one with the soldier to see which areas they think they’re struggling in

• Put the following into soldier info: age, rank, years of service, deployment & how many years deployed, highest education, prior & current MOS (military occupational specialty)
• LOVES: holistic performance overview (spider web graph) – she loves it b/c it shows how each part plays into the other
• Don’t use personal ID information b/c they don’t want this to go on their record – take out “John A.”

• Based on his 10 years experience working on technology innovation at Navy, it’s very hard to get devices approved to connect to the internet due to risks of cybersecurity threat
  • Even get approved, there will be many constraints on the use case
• Metrics can be used to measure anxiety level besides hrv includes:
  • Breathing rate
  • Sweat
  • Saliva – hydration level
  • Stand still -motion range

• We need to be more hands off during captain’s career course training
• Mission analysis is always taken in the form of a problem statement
• Funding begins in October, 4 cycles of CCC, then ends on the end of September
• Comptroller looks at historical data and decides if the needs of CCC are being met with the current level of funding.

• Prototype holds up well visually. Graph presentation is very effective.
• Interested in seeing more of the achievement history in the soldier performance tab
• Was confused if we were solely focussing on Green Berets or are also including civil affairs and psyops. (regardless, this system should be able to scale to meet their needs)

• “There has been a lot of people pushing for this information, but it has been hard to get units to share information” (about developing golden references)
• The quality of candidates that we were getting almost twenty years ago is remarkably different than the quality of candidates that we are getting today – seventeen years ago, 9/11 happened so we had wall street bankers, Master’s degrees candidates so the quality of education that people are coming in with are very different.
• Visually represent in an intuitive large amounts of data – CPC’s need a platform that brief them on data in an intuitive and self explanatory way

• Visual attention EEG
• Can refer us to PhD in cognitive performance and neuron science if needed
• Look into cognitive brain science
  • What affect focus and attention
