72
+ ## What This Is Not
73
+
74
+ This is a research and analytical tool. Public domain military history for:
75
+ - Strategic analysis and decision frameworks
76
+ - Historical research and education
77
+ - Leadership and organizational thinking
78
+ - Competitive strategy and planning
79
+
80
+ Not for operational military planning.
81
+
82
+ ## The Public Domain Opportunity
83
+
84
+ Every work cited here is in the public domain. The content is free. The value is in:
85
+ - Structured access (not raw text scanning)
86
+ - AI-native interfaces (not PDFs)
87
+ - Synthesis across traditions (not single-source)
88
+ - Modern application frameworks (not historical trivia)
89
+
90
+ This is the model for the next wave of knowledge infrastructure.
91
+
