Commercial Readiness Assessment — are signed LOIs expected from partners?
For the Commercial and Implementation Readiness Assessment, what level of partner engagement are you expecting? Signed LOIs from state DOTs or MPOs, or is earlier-stage interest enough?

For the Phase I Commercial and Implementation Readiness Assessment, the core requirement is to evaluate commercialization pathways, partnerships, and integration opportunities with state DOTs, local DOTs, MPOs, and logistics data providers to support the transition to a deployable prototype. Because the focus is on assessing readiness and identifying opportunities, documenting early-stage interest that outlines a viable pathway to future collaboration is acceptable, but signed letters of intent are not required in this phase.
