Cool subject (and I'm a big fan of the armour design articles)


Out of interest what kind of money does this splinter cartel have? Because my gut* over all feeling here is if your chap is willing to spend enough money he'll have no issue being able to entice a series of specialist relevant companies to solve the various issues mentioned. Even if they charge massively inflated bespoke "who is this crazy idiot, not our usual work" mark up prices

Basically I realise we're not talking about the Medellín cartel here who could write off $2bn a month to loss by mould and rat gnawing, but how splinter is splinter, how tight are resources?


basically people with large amounts of money have spent large amounts of money on to outside eyes weird and wonderful projects for as long as there's been people and money!

What I would say is I think the various tailoring options In LT would actually be pretty appropriate in this context as you will be levereaging really bespoke skill sets!


*FWIW I work for a company / industry that makes bespoke equipment that is heavily involved in engineering, tooling and material science. Yeah of course there are limiting factors to what can feasibly done, but one of the big ones is having a big enough desire and wallet to back it up and leave concerns of cost effectiveness in the rear view mirror!
