HYPOTHESIS: covert funding & oversight-gap lattice.
hypothesisgovernment_studyConjecture Layer (hypotheses)
Conjecture that IRAD overhead + waived USAPs + Gang-of-Eight carve-out fund a hidden program. PLAUSIBLE mechanism, unproven use.
This is CONJECTURE. It maps Grusch's misappropriation allegation onto the genuinely documented IRAD/SAP/oversight-gap plumbing. Support tier PLAUSIBLE for the mechanism (these channels really are low-visibility) but SPECULATIVE that they were ever used this way: no transaction evidence exists, DCAA audits the IRAD pool, and DIA denies obstruction.
