Also, if NASA is working with USDS, then the playbook is Play 13: "Default to Open". Not sure if they are but could be likely!

So I am not surprised it's getting released - I am surprised that, after a minutes thought, this is a big, open field.
I mean prometheus/ graphite grafana - hell even RRD (?) have been around for years. But that's all plumbing, the porcelain is what's missing - to have a singular platform that it just gives you a real time view of what's going on, it that embeds probably decades of hard won experience - yeah if this is even half decent it's going to be the beating heart dashboard of choice.
Want to impress the C-level execs - give them a read only access the the "company telemetry" - mission control from NASA.
Aw hell. There ought to be a good consultancy in just installing this stuff.
Graphs are a really really good way of getting an accurate gut feeling about what's going on. Take GME for example, what happened? Before you start talking about a short squeeze just get a graph of the share price out.
If I dump a CSV file in your inbox pre-coffee or whatever, you might blank, but if we have a graph of "Profit per widget" on the wall (metaphorical or literal) it's obvious if something's just broken.
Are China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, al Qaeda, ISIS, really disadvantaged by not being able to access NASA's CFD software? I'm sure the nation-states have the money and people to work it out for themselves, whereas the non-state actors wouldn't know what to do with it.
I'd suspect it's less a matter of preventing them from developing the capability and more a matter of making them spend their own money to do so, rather than getting it for free and using those resources to develop some other capability.
