Navy, then SWAT, now defense software. Co-founder of ARGUS. I write about wargaming, AI that shows its work, and building from zero. https://teapawt.net/t.co/xDj7JQcha9

Pearl Labs: three products. ARGUS: inspectable defense planning and wargaming. FenceEstimatePro: estimates to invoices for fence contractors. Glassbox Review: DWI review with cited authorities. Same rule: show the work. Humans keep the call. Which lane would you ship first?

On this day in 1989, an East German spokesman was asked when new travel rules took effect. "Immediately," he said. Crowds hit Berlin's checkpoints that night and guards opened the gates. One improvised answer. Accident or inevitable? #ColdWar #BerlinWall #MilitaryHistory

On this day in 1942 at El Alamein, Rommel asked Hitler for leave to fall back. No reply came. At 17:30 he ordered the retreat. With no trucks, most Italian infantry were left behind. Yesterday we asked: obey or pull back? Did he wait too long? #WWII #MilitaryHistory #Wargaming

On this day in 1942 at El Alamein, Rommel warned his worn-out army could not hold. Berlin's reply: stand fast, yield not a yard of ground. He later wrote for the first time in Africa he did not know what to do. Your call: obey or pull back? #WWII #MilitaryHistory #Wargaming

On this day in 1943: the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay. On a squally night off Bougainville, Task Force 39 used radar to turn a Japanese cruiser force away from the landings. At ARGUS we study nights like this. Your call: sensors or drills? #MilitaryHistory #Wargaming

What if you could take command at the Battle of the Bulge? Every dot is a real unit on a real date, 17 Dec 1944 to 16 Jan 1945 (HERO data). Watch the bulge open, then close. Which one decision would you change? #BattleOfTheBulge #WWII #MilitaryHistory #Wargaming

The Ardennes, December 1944, day by day. ARGUS replays unit positions from the historical record, and the map fills in as the offensive grows.

ARGUS ranks which of 177 map cells will change hands each week, then scores itself in public. Week 2 of 8: 5 changed. Top 10 picks caught 4, missed 1. Brier 0.017 vs 0.029 for the base rate. Two weeks prove nothing. Every miss stays posted. github.com/pearl-labs-llc/ar…

On this day in 1944, off Samar, a small group of escort carriers called Taffy 3 found Japan's Center Force bearing down on them. The big U.S. battleships were up north, chasing a decoy. Every wargame deserves one question up front: what's our decoy?

Our model's challenger scored better in testing. We still didn't promote it. The interval on the difference crosses zero, so the gain could be noise. A gate that holds beats a number that looks good.
