What remains unresolved
Known gaps in the record
- Supplier records can describe program infrastructure without showing whether individual firms benefit.

- Public-source analysis can miss private context, follow-up reporting, or details that have not been disclosed yet.

Explain the ecosystem as infrastructure, not as a single-company story.
