The Intelligence Gap: Project Harrison & the Architecture Maritime AI Doesn't Have

A two-part investigative series on Project Harrison — the open-source maritime AI non-profit building tooling that actually works at sea. Based on a direct interview with Jordan Taylor, USCG unlimited licence holder and Founder of Project Harrison. Includes an exclusive angle no one else has covered: the engine room reasoning gap.

Part A · Navigation & VCP
Why Maritime AI Needs a New Architecture

VCP, MIRA benchmark 50/50, SSOF roadmap, and why maritime ranks near the bottom of AI value-creation domains.

Part B · Engine Room & ECP
The Engine Room Has No VCP Yet

The Engineering Context Protocol — coined in this interview. "We should build it. We just can't." A direct challenge to every credentialled engineer who can articulate a fault diagnosis.
