Illustrative placeholders showing the dashboard populated. Each metric carries a source with an amber “pending” dot; website analytics goes live the moment GA4 is connected (§ Connect). Aggregates public web/social engagement only — no operational or ITAR-controlled data.

Milestone & Earned Media
ties to the Milestone-Sync playConnect Your Data
free APIs onlyTurn the placeholders live — no paid tiers
Every source here runs on a free API. GA4, the YouTube Data API, and the LinkedIn Pages API all pull real numbers at no cost. X’s free tier can’t read analytics, so that card stays a manual export (lowest priority). Connect a source below and its dot flips green.
pterodynamics.com already runs GA4. A read-only Google service account + Property ID feeds live sessions, visitors, pageviews, top pages & sources. Zero cost.
Free API key → live subscribers, views, watch time. Default quota covers analytics reads comfortably.
Free to use once the Community Management API is approved (same app as publishing). Page admin authorizes; then live follower/impression/engagement pulls.
Free API tier can’t read analytics. Weekly export from X Analytics, dropped in — or skip it.

Intel & Events
Where to show up and what to read. Events are fit-ranked for the Transwing story; the reading list is the doctrine that frames contested-logistics messaging so every post ladders up to a real mission narrative.
Defense event calendar
fit-rankedMust-reads — doctrine & feeds
frames the messagingDoctrine & concepts
- USMC Force Design / EABO — expeditionary advanced base ops; the demand signal.
- Navy Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) — dispersed force sustainment.
- Joint Concept for Contested Logistics — the core problem statement.
- Replicator initiative — mass, attritable, autonomous — the funding tailwind.
- RAND RRA1921-1 — contested-logistics analysis & framing.
- AUKUS — allied interoperability & the RAN storyline.

Social Strategy
A distinct defense/aerospace identity, video-forward, with a mandatory OPSEC/ITAR approval workflow. The cinematic folding-wing transform is the #1 unfair advantage — the strategy is built to put it in front of the right audiences.
