The ground worth fighting over in markets, technology, and national security.
What is Key Terrain?
In military doctrine, key terrain is any ground whose control gives a marked advantage to whoever holds it. The same is true in business, financial markets, technology, and national security: a supply chain chokepoint, a protocol that becomes the standard, a resource everyone suddenly needs. Key Terrain is about finding that ground, especially where those worlds overlap.
My writings look for the ground that matters most and what it takes to hold it. Written by Johnny DeMaddalena.
