Abstract:

During our combined 70 years in acquisitions, we often have wondered why the government believes it needs to devote additional resources for incentives to achieve a benefit. The government actually has complete control over one of the strongest contract incentives possiblecash flow.

Unfortunately, we havent really tried to exploit it as we should. So lets get to it.
