Definition: Fathom (verb)
1. To deeply understand after much thought
2. To get to the bottom of an issue or problem
We strive to truly understand the full depth of all projects–not just skim their surface. Well informed decisions and process improvements can be made only after completely understanding how a C4ISR system or project works. This principle applies to both management and leadership challenges, as well as the purely technical aspects of any project.
