>And having a breakthrough would mean it’s proprietary. Aka you didn’t buy it at the hobby store.

Now define a system that will verify that the technology is proprietary and not just assembled off the shelf components. Keep in mind that you can also have a breakthrough system that is made of existing components. And do it with minimal bureaucracy. Keep in mind that the person applying may honestly believe they have a breakthrough technology made from existing parts even if it's not.

Yes, but in the prior comment you just said you could present what you just bought off the shelf

If it’s outlandish enough anyway, everybody will know there’s nothing like it.

Take re usable rockets. In 2005 everyone agreed it was an outlandish idea that didn’t exist. And yes, obviously you have to glue stuff in a prototype.
