The ability for LIS "to efficiently address various grades of enriched nuclear fuel in small to large quantities" is simply a characteristic of LIS and getting at one of the well known deficiencies of centrifuge which is that the whole cascade is designed and built to operate a a designed throughput and that throughput cannot be changed (if you attempt to remove centrifuges from the cascade they will be destroyed by resonances - this is NOT new). SLX control GLE (they have 51%) so they don't need GLE permission for disclosures (but of course they would consult with both GLE and Cameco out of politeness). The other unique characteristic of LIS compared to centrifuge (which is not relevant for HALEU) is that it is "selective" in that rubbish (U236) in used fuels is discarded, however in this context that feature is irrelevant. As other posters have said the technical readiness level (TRL) will be what our competitors will be using as a "unique selling point" for their proposals - it's just competition and healthy.
