Stress test: 10,000 requests, 100 concurrent, 3 replicas scaled

IP Protection: ✅ Published (Docker patterns are defensible, no proprietary tech)

🔒 IP Protection Strategy

✅ What We Publish (Defensible via Prior Art)

Technical Methodology: OSINT techniques (Certificate Transparency, crt.sh, WebSocket analysis)
Cost Analysis: Exact infrastructure costs ($130/month breakdown)
MITRE Mapping: T1071/T1090 detection logic (public framework application)
Architecture Decisions: Why NOT Kafka, why NOT Redis, why NOT Alpine
Deployment Process: 8-13 minute timeline (public GitHub Actions workflows)

Defense: All published content references public data sources (AbuseIPDB, VirusTotal, Cloudflare docs, MITRE ATT&CK). Our value-add is analysis and integration, not secret techniques.

❌ What We DON’T Publish (Competitive Moats)

Judge Dredd Source Code: Quality agent runs locally, not public GitHub
Crown Jewel #90 Bypass Techniques: Layer3 Tripwire C&C analysis hints at deeper knowledge
Azure Key Vault Secrets: API keys, OAuth credentials, connection strings
Customer Data: Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota (partnership details only)
Learning Data: Judge Dredd learning files (compliance/learning/*.json)

Defense: Competitive advantage comes from execution speed (30x velocity) and security rigor (0 violations in 34 commits), not secret sauce.
