Research Methodology
KX Base applies repeatable threat-research practices: source evaluation, cross-source corroboration, explicit uncertainty, contradiction tracking, and revision when evidence changes.
Confidence scale
CONFIRMEDDirectly verifiable technical evidence with no material conflicting evidence identified.
HIGHCorroborated by multiple independent, relevant sources or strong primary evidence.
MEDIUMSupported by meaningful evidence but with unresolved gaps, ambiguity, or limited corroboration.
LOWPreliminary assessment based on incomplete or weakly corroborated evidence.
Sources and contradictions
Sources are normalized, deduplicated, and evaluated by provenance and directness. Material contradictions and unknowns should be disclosed rather than flattened into a single confident narrative.
