Annex

Analytic Annex

An authentic August 2026 Army sources-sought notice on Bradley vehicle sustainment was recast in hostile coverage within days, and CB-217 examined how. This annex is that brief's audit trail, separated out so the reasoning can be challenged: the strongest opposing case, evidence graded claim by claim, the method, the sources and the limits. For analysts testing the reading, counsel separating assertion from report, and communications leads deciding whether a graded claim is firm enough to act on.

Annex

Analytic Annex

The audit trail for CB-216, the brief on consumer robots inside a principal's residence that followed the FCC's July 2026 covered-list action and disclosed flaws in Unitree platforms. It holds the strongest opposing case, a claim-by-claim evidence grading, method, sources and limits, kept apart so the parent can be tested. For analysts challenging the reading, counsel separating assertion from report, and anyone deciding whether a graded claim will bear action.

Annex

The scoring framework

Every verdict in the firm's biometric threat series traces back to one scoring analysis. This annex to CB-089 sets it out so its conclusions can be assessed as reasoning rather than taken on trust: the unit of analysis, the lenses applied and the adversary each modality is judged against, with candor about where it falls short of a reproducible model. For advisors and technical reviewers weighing how far the series should shape a principal's biometric decisions.

Four-surface browser history collection: the technical detail

A technical companion to CB-070 that takes each place browsing records are collected in turn, setting out who observes it, what is retained and for how long, how records escape, which control reduces the exposure and how an advisor can confirm the control works. Retention figures are tied to dated vendor documentation. For security advisors auditing a principal's current controls, household technical staff carrying out changes, and reviewers who want to test the parent brief's claims against their sources.

After the tunnel: the three pipes a VPN does not close

A VPN Closes One of Four Doors

The standard answer to browsing-privacy concerns is a VPN. Read against the 2024 FTC action over Avast's Jumpshot sales, the 2025 LummaC2 infostealer disruption and the Mixpanel compromise that exposed Pornhub Premium records, this brief asks where browsing history is recorded, by whom, and which of those records a tunnel reaches. Built from regulator filings, Justice Department reporting and vendor retention documentation. For advisors checking a principal's privacy controls against the exposure.

The Domain Intelligence Ownership Map

An unfamiliar registrar, privacy proxy or name-server string in a WHOIS record raises a quick question: who stands behind it? This annex to CB-053 is the lookup map, grouping brands from across the registration and lookup chain by ultimate parent, with each brand's role and ownership form, drawn from the firm's early 2026 landscape review. For analysts and investigators who need to know the corporate group behind a brand before drawing any inference from it.

The Wider Ownership Map

Public deal reporting from 2024 to 2026, including Visa's August 2026 agreement to acquire BioCatch, moved many familiar security, DNS and fraud-intelligence products under new owners. This annex to CB-052 gathers those ownership changes beyond the domain layer where the parent keeps its argument, so a family office or operating business can check its own vendor list against who holds each product now. For anyone preparing a vendor review or contract renewal.
