One of the last projects the the Gorse Fox was working on involved the design of an immense distributed data farm with significant performance characteristics in terms of response times and availability. Having worked on this for about 9 months, developing a design that was optimised for performance but trimmed to be competitive – some very dubious decisions were made by the client and Starfleet were pipped at the post by some Klingon enterprise.
GF hears through the grapevine that said Klingon enterprise is now having real problems delivering, and that their design is having major problems meeting the performance requirements.
That’s what happens when you make silly choices to save a percentage point or two of cost.
Sits back with a smug grin.
Karma.

I have a slight problem with the concept of a Klingon Enterprise - I'm surprised Starfleet doesn't seek to steal this fifth column development.
Ha,GF's mind must have in neutral and hadn't picked up on the unintended juxtaposition.
Maybe "outfit" or "cowboy outfit" would be a better choice.
