The most-amended grant in the record: $6.08M in 2020 grew to $20.4M by 2025, and the binding metric became research spending. S-21 S-22 S-88 S-23
The earliest node in the cluster — and the most-amended, fastest-growing grant on record: $6.08M (2020) → $20.4M across five amendments, with the project total growing $31M → $111.7M and the horizon extended to 2036. S-21 S-22 S-23 S-88
Today's binding metric: expend ≥$58.5M in awarded research grants by 2036. The text of the second performance metric is not in our documents — an obligation whose content is unknown.

| Triumph Gulf Coast — Triumph Gulf Coast, Inc. IHMC (grantee) — Healthspan Center #233 | $20,396,286 committed | Triumph GAA #233 as amended (Fifth Amendment; original 2020 grant $6,078,795) S-23 S-22 S-88 |
Rows are this decision's entries in the Money ledger; stages are never summed together.
The 2020 application asked for $6,078,795 to "seed the establishment of a human performance cluster in Northwest Florida" and become a "Center of Excellence" — with ~18 net-new FTE over 3 years, ≥$20M in research proposals submitted, and 45 businesses mentored.
This cluster framing predates American Magic by three years — the "catalyst" language is a standing Triumph template, not a post-hoc rationalization invented in 2026. That cuts both ways, and is preserved as such.
Amendment timeline: GAA 2021-03-23 → First 2022-11-03 → Second 2023-12-19 → Third 2024 (the instrument says executed 19 August; the Fourth Amendment's recital says August 25 — discrepancy preserved) → Fourth 2024-12-18 → Fifth 2025-09-09.
The binding metric shifted from winning research money to SPENDING it: Performance Metric #1 is now "expend ≥$58,531,507 in awarded research grants by 2036." The original ~18-FTE jobs metrics were superseded by the amended structure; whether they were achieved is unresolved.
The text of Performance Metric #2 (and any beyond) is not in our documents — the Fifth Amendment shows only the amended PM#1. The obligation exists; its content is unknown.
What drove the 3.3× growth across five amendments is not yet documented. (Triumph's June-2026 portfolio report also lists a second IHMC grant — #342, NCCA, $6.7M — not yet extracted.)
The Fifth Amendment amends Performance Metric #1 and implies a PM#2 whose text is not in our documents — an obligation whose content is unknown. Also open: what drove the grant's 3.3× growth across five amendments, and whether the original ~18-FTE job metrics were achieved before being superseded.
Verified edges are supported by an executed document. Proposed and reported edges describe instruments that are drafted, approved-but-nonbinding, or stated publicly. Inferred edges are the project's own reading of the record, labeled as such.
