Core guarantees
- Determinism: same input, byte-identical output.
- Traceability: claims map to path + hash + line.
- Explicit unknowns: blind spots are first-class outputs.
- Drift governance: score and gap regressions are CI-guarded.
Trust and method
Trust comes from artifacts, not personality.
SOT Navigator is built for decision-grade output under time pressure. The credibility model is simple: deterministic generation, evidence-linked claims, and explicit limits.
Boundary conditions
- Technical evidence mapping only. Not legal advice or certification.
- Not a SAST replacement. Positioning is risk evidence and decision support.
- Public website shows proof-of-method; full target artifacts are NDA-delivered.
- No hidden interpretation layer in generated findings.
- Fixed-scope delivery. Scope expansion goes through change control.
Principal-led delivery
How trust is maintained with principal-led delivery.
Productized delivery
Outcomes are fixed-scope artifact packs, not open-ended consulting hours.
Evidence-first readout
Optional calls are for decision alignment, not to justify undocumented findings.
Re-run friendly
Teams can re-run and verify outputs against the published method and artifact contracts.
Scope qualification
Best buyers and trigger conditions.
| Primary buyer | Active trigger | Decision window | Fit signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| M&A diligence teams | Acquisition, investment, or technical diligence cycle | 2 to 30 days | Need independent, board-facing risk evidence |
| Security/GRC lead | SOC2/PCI/ISO/NIST/GDPR evidence pressure | 2 to 45 days | Needs deterministic traceability for audit preparation |
| CTO or VP Engineering | Board request, incident aftermath, or governance reset | 7 to 45 days | Needs decision-ready risk baseline across critical repos |
Disqualifiers
- No clear owner, no decision timeline, or no active business trigger.
- Request is mainly ad-hoc engineering consulting or custom detector R&D.
- Need is broad code-quality tooling instead of decision-grade risk evidence.
