Information Provenance and Uncertainty

How IRON NEST turns source-relative reports into a fire-control problem, why a plausible number is not automatically a trustworthy input, and how to retain uncertainty until the map resolves it.

Physical Station Handoffs: Why IRON NEST Separates the Work

A mechanics analysis of IRON NEST's confirmed multi-station workflow: how reports, map work, calculation and gun controls create verifiable handoffs rather than one abstract aiming action.

Rotation Time and Task Switching

How IRON NEST makes turret rotation a period for verified task switching rather than empty travel time, using only the official claim that a heavy machine takes time to swing and skilled Operators use that time.
