Execution model
How work is structured
The sequence stays the same. Understand authority, model failures, verify enforcement, ship fixes.
01
Boundary mapping
Map where authority lives across app, backend, runtime, and release controls.
02
Abuse and failure path modeling
Trace realistic attacker and admin workflows through high-impact paths.
03
Enforcement verification
Verify backend controls, runtime isolation, and release protections where drift is likely.
04
Fix-oriented output
Translate findings into prioritized implementation guidance and validation criteria.
Work product
What good output looks like
Output is meant for teams that need to execute quickly.
Scope fit
Where this methodology works best
Best for teams shipping systems where release, account, and runtime risk cannot be handled with checklist-only review.
Strong fit
- iOS/Android products with account-critical workflows
- backend/API systems with brittle authorization behavior
- release paths where artifact trust and rollback safety matter
- agent-runtime and tool-authorization surfaces with elevated misuse risk
Not designed for
- compliance-only requests disconnected from implementation
- generic broad-scope assessments without a defined high-risk path
- engagements where no remediation ownership exists
- work outside owned or authorized environments
