I was wondering if you could share with us what connects these priorities and why do they demand attention now?

So I think these five areas really are where the money, the risk, and congressional demand really come together.

That's kind of the glue that ties all of these five areas together.

And in terms of the why now, As we've discussed, the environment is changing fast and advances in emerging technology like AI, the mounting fiscal pressures that the US as a nation faces, as well as shifting national and global security landscape, intensifying cyber threats, they all raise the stakes across all of these areas.

And Congress now needs timely, objective, fact-based, nonpartisan analysis and information to help them navigate across all of these issues.

So I'll kind of walk through each one and provide a little insight about kind of why the issue is so critically important at this particular juncture.

So first, I'll start with fraud, waste, and abuse.

You know, it's really important because given all the work you're doing, I was wondering what makes a GAO recommendation practical, actionable, and how do you continue, as you pointed out, how do you continue the dialogue with agency leaderships, share a measure of progress, help them turn whatever your agency's practical, actionable recommendations are into sustained improvement? Can you give us a sense of that process?
