Where to start
Begin here when you need to interpret score, display grade and qualifier. Stay with the domain, relationship or service state named on the page; the task does not widen silently into a different security or product claim.
Product help
Read the grade together with its qualifier.
The letter is a summary of included external evidence. Confidence, evidence gaps, attribution and comparability explain how much weight that summary can carry.
Bounded collection. Explicit permission. No exploitation or authentication attempts.
What to do
Interpret score, display grade and qualifier
Each guide takes you from the current screen or state to one safe, testable outcome. This page helps you interpret score, display grade and qualifier. The relevant evidence, owner and limit remain available from the same route.

How grading works
Precision appears only when the evidence supports it
A+95-100
Exceptional evidence-backed external posture with additional safeguards
A to B-70-94.99
Strong to good externally visible controls, with remaining actions kept visible
C+ to D-40-69.99
Mixed controls and material evidence requiring prioritised attention
E0-39.99
Weak result, subject to evidence and safety floors
INo score
Insufficient evidence for a defensible grade
In practice
Complete the task safely
What to check
Provider or collector failure cannot improve a grade. Open the relevant report evidence when you need to verify the source, observation time, attribution or qualification behind it.
How to complete the task
Complete the step shown on the page, then check the resulting state before moving on. Unknown, unavailable and not-applicable outcomes remain distinct, so absence is never presented as a successful or reassuring result.
How to recover safely
Contact support with the correlation reference, never credentials or secret values. Record the resulting owner, evidence or recovery state where the product provides it, so another person can verify what happened without repeating the task.
What you can rely on
Checks that prevent mistakes
Confirm the workspace, domain and evidence state before completing a task.
Clear scope
Missing, stale, disputed or unavailable evidence cannot be treated as safety.
Traceable evidence
Provider or collector failure cannot improve a grade.
Honest limits
The Overall Signals Grade covers external evidence included in the assessment, not the organisation's complete security or breach likelihood.
Important boundary
What this does not mean
Understand the grade supports one defined outcome: interpret score, display grade and qualifier. Domain Signals is not a penetration test, certification, data-residency assessment or prediction of breach likelihood. Missing evidence is not evidence of safety.
