Notes, ideas, and practical engineering content
Why network automation projects fail before the first script is written
The real blockers are usually inventory quality, process ownership, and change control. Start with repeatable operational pain, not shiny tooling.

Detection is only valuable when it is actionable. The operational goal is fewer noisy events and faster prioritization, not just a model score.
