Winning a contract isn’t the same as deploying capability.

This week, Andrew Vanderhoof (Director of DAF CLOUDworks at AFRL) joins Tyler to talk about what actually happens between “award” and “operational.”

They cover:

• Getting commercial software into classified environments
• Why OTAs and zero-dollar agreements matter
• The real weight carried by DAOs and AOs
• Scaling innovation without breaking trust
• And why the timeline is now weeks to months — not years

If you care about commercial-first actually meaning something, this one’s for you.
