The science is excellent and the mission is critical. But the audiences evaluating your programs—senior policymakers, interagency partners, and funding authorities do not live in your technical world. This is the structural gap between technical execution and strategic resonance. Livian Closes that Gap. We help organizations articulate their science and technology within the framework of the national security mission by translating capabilities into real-world use cases the federal government needs and understands.
Your teams advance defense modernization, critical infrastructure security, applied science for national resilience, and dual-use technology. Yet decision environments demand more than technical merit; they require mission-aligned narratives that map to priorities, risk, national impact.
• Decision-makers don’t share your technical frame.
• Funding mechanisms reward clarity tied to strategy and outcomes.
• Partners need the mission use case, not just the research output.
When translation is weak, programs stall, funding slows, and the full value of the work is obscured.
We connect the science to the use case and the use case to national security mission.
