Editorial standards

Structure

Every record follows the same shape, taken from the way detection engineers document analytics: the explanation, a practical procedure or specification, the false positives to expect, and the assumptions the method rests on.

The last two sections are mandatory. A method described without its failure modes reads as more capable than it is, and readers act on that.

Claims

Where a figure is uncertain, it is described as uncertain. Where something is contested, both positions are given. Where the honest answer is that nobody knows — detection rates, insider incident base rates — the record says so rather than citing a number that would look authoritative.

Vendor claims are not repeated as fact.

Scope

Defensive only. No material on evading monitoring, concealing activity or moving data undetected.

No content about specific named individuals or organisations.

Legal and regulatory material is general description, not advice.

Corrections

Errors are corrected in place, and substantive corrections are noted. Records are revised when the underlying practice changes, not to chase search traffic.
