We examine the current jurisdictional landscape at the GAO and Court of Federal Claims, highlighting why thorough documentation is essential not just for formal litigation, but also for answering potential inquiries from Congress or senior leadership. We also discuss the \"fail fast\" mentality and the unique flexibility of OTs, which allow us to manage projects through iterative payment milestones and open-ended collaboration rather than the rigid deadlines found in traditional acquisitions.
