Why Mission Threads Matter More Than Clever Tools Most AI failures in defence don't stem from weak models. They fail at the joins, where data meets policy, where insight meets the operational brief, where decisions meet the people executing them.

The solution isn't adding more features. It's building a clear mission thread.
