Talking Points
"Government is the largest customer on earth, and most small businesses have never sold it a paperclip. That's not a talent gap. It's a translation gap."
"I did not begin with procurement fluency. I learned by reading requirements, competing, studying losses, delivering, and improving the operating method."
"Software can remove repetition. It cannot absorb responsibility. The accountable judgment stays human."
"Credibility grows when the claim is the same size as the evidence."
