You've nailed the 'Why Now,' with Ukraine and LFP cathode dependence highlighting a clear, urgent problem. However, the 'Why Northfield' beyond Brady's impressive resume feels more like a government white paper than a compelling startup narrative.

You've shown me the market size for LFP cathodes and metal powders, which are technologies. I need to see the market size for *Northfield Group's* revenue, not just the Pentagon's shopping list. Are you building a factory or just pointing people at it?

You describe a whole ecosystem of 'aligning capital, industrial capacity, and acquisition pathways,' but I'm still unclear if I'm investing in a consulting firm, a fund manager, or a highly specialized broker. How exactly does Northfield Group monetize this 'alignment' into recurring revenue for us?

Brady, your resume reads like a Tom Clancy novel, which is excellent for this niche. But unless you're planning on being a one-man 'group,' I need to see more than a 'bench' that's still 'growing' for a venture of this scope.

You've outlined an ambitious plan for 'validation to adoption' and 'operator-led diligence,' but where's the actual traction? I see examples of *what* you *could* do, not *what you have already done*—show me successful deal flow, not just the methodology for it.

The branding is as crisp as a freshly pressed uniform, but the core business model on slides 3 and 9 is murkier than a drone feed in a sandstorm. Good design can't hide a lack of fundamental clarity on how you make money.
