Common-use platforms are why terminals can flex, and why one supplier failure degrades four countries at once. Nobody in the contract chain prices that.
An ecosystem-wide long tail alongside sector concentration. Both are true, and it complicates the corpus’s own argument.
Concentration is dangerous on the side holding the data and useful on the side attacking it. Both moved the wrong way at once.
