## Validation / How We Prove It

Independent, queryable proof points (May 2026). None of these are claimed as 100% — we cap confidence at ~95%:
- **Novelty (~75%)**: ~75% of our independently-sourced IOCs are not present in ThreatFox — most of what we publish, ThreatFox doesn't have. Endpoint: GET /api/v1/feed-uniqueness.
- **Timeliness (~31 days ahead)**: we list exploited vulnerabilities ~31 days before CISA KEV on average. Endpoint: GET /api/v1/kev-lead.
- **Accuracy (independent corroboration)**: Spamhaus independently listed ~31 of 63 of our first-hand contributions, corroborating our calls. Confirmation rate is n/a until Spamhaus adjudicates the remainder. Endpoint: GET /api/v1/spamhaus-validation.
