Working lab — pre-launch

Methodology first, engines second.

The engines are in development; the methodology underneath them is published as it settles. Research is the part of the lab that is open now — tracks, writing, and a disclosure policy you can hold us to.

//01

Research tracks

Five standing tracks. Each one feeds an engine or the evaluation of the engines — nothing here is ornamental.

RA-01

Agentic attack planning

How autonomous operators decompose an objective into staged attacks, chain findings as they develop, and decide when a route is exhausted. The planning formalism underneath SIEGE.

SIEGE

RA-02

Scope enforcement and control

Rules of engagement as machine-checked contracts — boundary verification on every step, operator-held checkpoints, kill-switch semantics, and a complete audit trail of agent decisions.

ALL ENGINES

RA-03

Human-layer simulation

Pretext design, consent models and measurement for simulation aimed at people and process — without harvesting anything live. The methodology underneath PRETEXT.

PRETEXT

RA-04

Evidence engineering

Attack graphs and append-only action logs: what it takes for a machine-executed attack to count as reproducible evidence rather than anecdote.

SIEGE · PROBE

RA-05

Evaluation of autonomous offense

Benchmarks and scoring for systems that attack — honest baselines, adversarial robustness of the evaluation itself, and reporting that refuses theater.

LAB

An engine that cannot explain its attack did not attack. Explanation is not a feature of the product; it is the product.

Coordinated disclosure

We build offensive systems; we are obliged to receive reports well. The policy is short, written down, and applies to our own infrastructure and engines.

//HOW TO REPORT

Report a vulnerability

Send reports to [email protected], encrypted on request. Good-faith research that respects the policy below — and stops at demonstration — receives safe harbor. We will not support legal action against a reporter who follows it.

Agent-generated findings follow the same discipline: every report we issue is reproducible, scoped, and coordinated under a stated window.

  • CHANNEL[email protected]
  • ACKNOWLEDGMENTwithin 48 hours — target
  • COORDINATION WINDOW90 days from report
  • PUBLICATIONcoordinated after fix, or at window close
  • SAFE HARBORgood-faith research, within policy
  • CREDIToptional, always offered

From the lab

Short notes on how the work is done — published between papers, dated and unpolished on purpose.

2026-09 // LAB NOTE

Why we publish the methodology

An offensive capability that cannot be inspected should not be trusted to run. Publishing the methodology is the offer: read how the engines are designed to think — how scope is enforced, how evidence is captured, where the operator sits — and then judge the outputs by that standard. It is slower than selling. It is the only version of this that we would believe ourselves.

2026-08 // LAB NOTE

On honest numbers

Until pilots report, every number on this site is a design specification or a labeled target. When field results exist, they will be labeled as field results — with the sample size attached. Nothing else counts.

//ENGAGEMENTS

Request an engagement

Research collaboration is open now, independent of engine maturity — MODEL-03 on the products page.
