<!-- ═════════════════════════ ENGAGEMENT ═════════════════════════ -->
<section id="engage">
<h2 class="section-head">How <span class="accent">We Team</span></h2>
<p class="section-intro">Two tracks. The first is your contract; we slot in. The second is our small business; you team with us as the prime or as the sub for transition. Pick whichever makes the procurement office happy.</p>
<div class="engage-grid">
<div class="engage-col primary">
<h3>As Prime · Teaming Preferred</h3>
<p class="sub">You team with us; we hold the small business set-aside.</p>
<ul class="engage-list">
<li><strong>SBIR Phase I</strong> — concept feasibility; subs allowed up to 33%
<span class="li-sub">SDVOSB set-aside topics; AFWERX, SpaceWERX, NavalX, DARPA, NIH, NSF Open Topics</span></li>
<li><strong>SBIR Phase II</strong> — prototype build; subs allowed up to 50%
<span class="li-sub">Cost-reimbursement-aware; up to ~$2M per topic</span></li>
<li><strong>SBIR Phase III</strong> — sole-source, no dollar cap
<span class="li-sub">Team with us as the transition vehicle; we sub UNDER you for delivery</span></li>
<li><strong>STTR</strong> — small biz + research-institution partner
<span class="li-sub">Open to UMD, JHU APL, MITRE-affiliated researcher pairings</span></li>
<li><strong>Direct-to-Phase-II (D2P2)</strong>
<span class="li-sub">32-crate Unlicense base + IR&D openbooks = Phase I-equivalent evidence</span></li>
<li><strong>SDVOSB Joint Venture</strong>
<span class="li-sub">JV with another SDVOSB to combine past performance for Phase II / set-aside pursuits</span></li>
<li><strong>SBA / DoD Mentor-Protégé</strong>
<span class="li-sub">Open to 18-month mentor-protégé arrangements; primes can sub to us on set-asides without disqualifying SDVOSB status</span></li>
<li><strong>STRATFI / TACFI</strong> — post-Phase II match funding
<span class="li-sub">Commercial revenue (KNOXAI + oakilydokily + consulting) provides the private match</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="engage-best">Best when you've got a topic, a research lead, a Phase III transition need — or you want to mentor.</div>
</div>
<div class="engage-col secondary">
<h3>As Sub · Where It Fits</h3>
<p class="sub">Your contract; we slot in for the Rust/cyber CLIN.</p>
<ul class="engage-list">
<li><strong>Teaming Agreement</strong> — pre-award partnership
<span class="li-sub">Most common first touch; converts to subcontract on win</span></li>
<li><strong>Subcontract on prime instrument</strong>
<span class="li-sub">Add us to your active contract; rate card on file; ready for clause flow-down</span></li>
<li><strong>Named sub on IDIQ task order</strong>
<span class="li-sub">Pre-named on your bid for specific task orders; on-call for the surge</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="engage-best">Best when you've got an active instrument and need a specialized Rust/cyber capability for a CLIN.</div>

<!-- ═════════════════════════ ARCHITECTURE TAUGHT ═════════════════════════ -->
<section id="taught">
<h2 class="section-head">Architecture <span class="accent">Taught Under The Unlicense</span></h2>
<div class="taught">
<p class="lead">When we team, <strong>we don't gatekeep</strong>. The architecture is the deliverable. The architecture is public domain. Bring the contract; the patterns travel under the Unlicense.</p>
<ul class="taught-list">
<li><strong>Single-binary Rust web service pattern</strong> — this site is the reference impl. 13 MB Rust binary (8.9 MB ARM), $10/mo bare-metal hosting, zero cloud. Source on GitHub, Unlicense.</li>
<li><strong>Triple-Sims testing gate</strong> — three-stage simulation before merge. Implemented in <code>exopack</code>. Re-used across every Cochran Block crate.</li>
<li><strong>Edge / DIL / disconnected deployment patterns</strong> — operates in disconnected, intermittent, limited-bandwidth environments. Zero external dependencies at runtime.</li>
<li><strong>On-device AI inference</strong> — <code>any-gpu</code>, <code>pixel-forge</code>, <code>kova-engine</code>. Runs on consumer hardware. No FedRAMP cloud auth required because there is no cloud.</li>
<li><strong>Distributed C2 mesh</strong> — <code>ghost-fabric</code>, <code>runsible</code>. Multi-node orchestration via SSH with tokenized command compression. Resync on connectivity restore.</li>
<li><strong>Wall-of-Laptops TUI / framebuffer-console pattern</strong> — zero-GUI status displays. ~80 MB RAM total per node. Repurpose, don't replace.</li>
<li><strong>The <code>cochranblock</code> crate itself</strong> — a template for instantiating your own anti-founder website. Fork it, rename it, point it at your own catalog. Public domain.</li>
<li><strong>Custom AI orchestration over curated, research-backed datasets</strong> — multiple shipped instances. <em>Data is the moat, not the model.</em> Researched and curated corpora, paired with on-device inference, deliver the kind of dual-use AI that’s defensible without an OpenAI bill or a FedRAMP cloud auth.</li>
</ul>
<div class="taught-foot">
<strong>No license fee.</strong> No NDA needed for the patterns. Full crate-by-crate breakdown at <a href="https://manual.cochranblock.org">manual.cochranblock.org</a>.
