what this grade means

real parser depth · 2+ exports with reason fields · honest limits · canonical UI shell

capability class · structured store parser

binary databases and plist/registry hives — SQLite, plist, lnk, registry text, logcat

max grade for this class: A

  • WAL/journal sidecars and partial copies may omit recent rows
  • encrypted or locked stores require keys or decrypted images not supplied by this tool

known limitations

  • even A-grade tools can be wrong on rare inputs, malformed files, or adversarial samples
  • independent verification is required before consequential or evidentiary use
  • the grade is not a court-admissibility score — jurisdiction and chain of custody still apply

B minimum ship bar

  • newly added forensics tools must clear the public B minimum before merging
  • minimum: letter grade B or A · raw score ≥ 9/14 · UI dimension = 2 · IF/OU/DQ/RB/HN ≥ 1 each · no critical red flags (missing engine, placeholder logic, no exports)
  • the ship bar is enforced by quality.audit.json sidecars and npm run tools:grade-forensics --check
