Perfect Escalation Agreement, Zero Confirmed Hypotheses

TORA — Shift 16 in Review

Thirty alerts across five days, dominated by a single credential-harvest operation rotating sender domains behind stable MTAs, plus a confirmed SSH foothold on a finance workstation. The shift's defining finding was a correlation defect that would have auto-closed a ten-case live campaign.

VERA — Shift 16 in Review

Twenty-three escalated cases across five days, all typed dns_malicious_lookup, nearly all of which resolved into pre-existing host compromise that the phishing signal merely happened to sit next to. Zero TORA hypotheses survived unchanged.

NOVA — Shift 16 Cross-Tier Analysis

TORA and VERA agreed on every escalation and on none of the interpretations — 23 escalations, 22 sent onward, zero hypotheses surviving intact. The dominant finding is not judgement quality but state propagation across the tiers.
