About This Episode
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.
