Supported capability
The assessment uses direct protocol observations and passive intelligence but stops before exploitation, authentication attempts, brute force and fuzzing.

Collector identity
Collector identity explains the control, evidence and limitation a reviewer should use when evaluating Domain Signals. Trust comes from showing how a conclusion was reached, where the boundary sits and what the evidence cannot establish.
Bounded, non-exploitative Authorised external assessment.
Bounded evidence. Explicit responsibility. No hidden inference.

A deliberate path
From permission to retained evidence

Trace each statement to its stated evidence basis, owner and review date.
- 03
Carry the published limitation into procurement, assurance or technical interpretation rather than treating silence as approval.
Evidence before assertion
What the product can support
Every governed capability ends with an explicit disposition. Current observations can support a strength or an action; missing, stale or unavailable evidence remains an unknown and cannot become reassurance. The exact target, source, observation time, responsibility and evidence state remain available to entitled readers.
Qualified statement
The public collector identity and opt-out process describe how authorised observations are made.

Questions a careful reader should ask
What does Collector identity establish?
Collector identity explains the control, evidence and limitation a reviewer should use when evaluating Domain Signals. It establishes only what the governed evidence supports.
What does it not establish?
It does not prove complete organisational security, exploitability, breach likelihood or the absence of unobserved weaknesses.
How can I verify the conclusion?
Use the linked evidence or capability record to inspect source, observation time, target, responsibility and the condition required for closure.
