“This is very intriguing and carries the concept of “Your Encore” to the next level. One key element that will be essential to the success of this model is whether promising solution concepts (ie it should work) will be rewarded….or if only proven solutions (ie I have shown it will work) will suffice.

In my experience with large companies, they have a strong bias for the latter, including pushing as much cost as the solution provider will tolerate back upon them.”
