The Binding Constraint in Entry Descent & Landing Systems: Is the Gap Expertise, R&D, or Execution?

MITRE's weakest dimension in Entry Descent & Landing Systems is expertise (1 of 5). Texas A&M / TEES is strongest there (4 of 5), differing from the overall-best partner JHU / APL. The claim: the binding constraint is expertise, and pairing specifically to close it changes the recommended teammate. Falsifiable against the per-dimension partner scores and 28 graded evidence items.
