Traditional Phase 0 (Concept Exploration)

• A kind of study phase when all the options are being discussed

• For big programs, more than one contractor involved

• When the contracts and scope are defined

• Good chance of being canceled

• A REALLY good time to talk about Fair Licensing!

• Chance of salvaging something even if canceled

• The contractors are more flexible

• Not a lot of cruft to conform to

• The Rules are still being set
