Methodologies

Practice that spans implementations.

A methodology isn’t a product or a single deployment — it’s a cross-cutting practice or spec that holds regardless of which engine sits underneath: detection-as-code, SQL-metadata lakehouse, MLOps for model-assisted threat hunting. Orthogonal to the validation axis, which is why these sit apart from teardowns and blueprints rather than above or below them.
