The solution must be available in the marketplace, and able to scale to a Headquarters Air Force, Intelligence, Reconnaissance (ISR) and Cyber Effects Operations(CEO) (AF/A2/6) enterprise capability.

The solution must be capable of distributing alerts in near real-time via email, web-based applications, and mobile platforms. The solution must provide at least three �tracks� (sub-programs) within the platform, including one-on-one mentoring, group mentoring, and flash mentoring.
