I meant for the application-reviewing process, which has much faster feedback, vs. the "are the applicants qualified" process, which takes waiting at least through the session, and possibly a few more years.
They should be able to tune the app-review and interview process pretty easily, at least to get the same amount of information as from teams with ideas. Figuring out if those teams, if accepted, are markedly different from those who came with existing ideas, that's a much harder problem.
