Sector judgment

Method follows the operating reality.

A court record, a utility control room and an acquisition target do not carry the same constraints. The engagement plan should show that difference.

Context
We identify the forum, operating limits, decision-makers and obligations that shape the work before technical collection begins.
Fieldwork
Testing is planned around safety, uptime, privilege, transaction timing and the people who control the relevant systems.
Decision
Findings are written for the audience that must act on them, with the technical record available for scrutiny behind the recommendation.
