Nine research and development directions — materials, RF, optics, instrumentation, comms, manufacturing. Each a target locked and carried to a staged bench plan.
One move, repeated without exception: acquire the target, drive it to a staged bench plan, kill the bad bets cheap and early.
Independent research and development directions, no shared bet between them — pick the one in your field. Each opens into a full packet: the problem, the approach, the staged path to bench. Physics that already works; the only open question is the build.
The capability is built. The only open question is where it points next.
