What is a primer?

A Primer is a thoroughly researched professional and formalized document and/or video that provides aggregated, contextual information to educate, identify shortfalls, and propose potential solutions for organizations to meet the operational needs.  They provide background and detailed explanations of the challenges the organization needs to assist them in making the right choices going forward.  All too often, organizations seek and procure material solutions before they completely understand their requirements or what the recently procured material solution really provides.  A Primer will assist in developing an organizational or acquisitional strategic plan to meet future challenges.  

Primers DO NOT tell personnel or organizations what to do or how to do them. Primers will not recommend specific OEM equipment over another, but merely analyze problem sets in order to educate key decision makers so they can more easily pursue informed solutions. 

In the past, Primers have help organizations develop organizational doctrine, non-material solutions and formal acquisition process documents, such as, Initial Capabilities Documents (ICDs) and Capabilities Development Document (CDDs). 

Our experienced Power Ten Team incorporates independent, novel, and sound analytical techniques of potential capability gaps of both material and non-material solutions.  We incorporate your potential Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership and education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF) solutions into our analytical report.
