this dog bite case that I'm in the middle of here or whatever.
And that law firm then pivots and says, okay, we're going to work on that.
That's not how the new neoprimes work.
They don't work like a law firm.
They don't work like the primes.
They guess.
They go out, they survey the land, they see the problems, they talk with the generals, they talk with the various folks that are out in the field.
And then they guess at what a product that they could invent that they have in their head might work
to solve this problem or that problem.
Some of them are winners.
Some of them will win.
Some of them will lose, just like in consumer products, where you'll have a consumer product company that just doesn't make it, but others that do.
You're going to have winners and losers.
And that's where the big risk comes into play.
But if you're willing to take that risk, then you get
way more innovation, way more creativity, because you're not bounded to this very systematic like hand you this, hand you that, stepwise, one, two, three, four, five, six, never really do anything unless the government says, here's a check, here's how you get paid.
And so they're incentivized to just wait for the requirements, wait for the direction on what they should build, and then they go build it.
So like a law firm, just like it.
That's what primes are today.
So are they useful?
