Pointing out a contradiction of policy and interest between civilian and military who each have independent concerns and capability doesn't necessary imply sarcasm. I took nimbius to mean that it will be interesting (as in get your popcorn) to see who's influence in the halls of power win out when such a contradiction exists.
Consultants have usually seen 10-20 successful versions of what you are trying to do and 3-4 failed versions materialize over the last three years.
The difference is usually whether the companies involved had the money and focus to mostly follow the consultant’s plan or whether it gets bogged down in customizations and committees of internal stakeholders at the company.
I’ve also seen a couple stall because 3rd party vendors over promised and totally dropped the ball but it’s usually the vendors that the company was locked into before the consultant came on board or some niche product with no good vendors in the space.
