The article's task-board account connects its imagery work with a crowd-platform contribution chain. The task board recruits work, the sensor board recruits coverage, the commission board recruits qualified capability, and the agent board recruits executable workflows. A client engages a prime, the prime organizes contributors, and the resulting product returns to a model, operational center, or case. The boards make the market’s vocabulary and entry roles legible. ### Marketplace sources - [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft#VI.
