Device Ownership Is a Security Primitive Not a Procurement Detail
Unmanaged nearshore laptops break Zero Trust and expose IPs. Device ownership defines the root of trust, chain of custody, and endpoint controls.
Cognitive Fidelity and the Turing Trap
Why software quality is probabilistic, not binary, and how misaligned mental models cause senior engineers to ship confident but wrong code.
Are you paying senior rates for junior code?
Title inflation lets vendors charge senior rates for engineers without architectural capacity, creating hidden delivery risk and wasted spend
Can we actually sue a remote team for data theft?
US NDAs rarely protect IP overseas. Learn why cross-border lawsuits fail and how CTOs must prevent data theft with platform-level enforcement.
Can you cut them off in one second?
The Federated Identity Revocation: Centralizing authentication through a single gateway allows instant, total access termination across systems.
Is customer data leaking across borders?
The Data Sovereignty Geofence: Enforcing strict routing protocols ensures data never exits legal jurisdictions, preventing massive compliance fines.
Are we paying for ghost resources?
Agencies often rotate top talent out after the sale, silently swapping in cheaper, less experienced staff to widen margins.
Do you own the code or just the repo?
Possessing the files is not the same as understanding the logic; lack of documentation creates a hostage situation.
Is the vendor building hidden debt?
Lack of automated standards allows teams to prioritize feature speed over stability, creating a long-term maintenance burden.
