Audits examine code. They do not establish whether a protocol survives the failure of its own controls — a compromised admin key, a stalled oracle, an unreachable keeper, a governance capture.
SCE models catastrophic protocol failure and produces a decision record for each scenario it runs. It works on authority surfaces and control readiness rather than code vulnerabilities, which makes it complementary to an audit rather than a substitute for one.
The engine is the intelligence layer beneath the rest of the Continuity and Defense family: Sagitta Defense delivers its findings as a client engagement, and Sagitta Radar runs its monitoring pillars against live infrastructure.
Decision records are hashed and written to an append-only audit layer, so the reasoning behind a continuity decision remains inspectable after the fact.
