# Evidence-backed hypothesis trees

A tree can organize alternative mechanisms and their prerequisites. It is an
analysis representation, not an execution plan or a mandated pentest lifecycle.
Root nodes name the security question; children identify necessary conditions,
competing explanations or concrete observations. Link every observed node to its
source and keep proposed tests distinct from results.

## Modeling constraints

Use identifiers stable enough to retain provenance when an assumption changes.
A child is relevant only when it can change the parent conclusion. Avoid invented
services, ports or account privileges. Record contradicted nodes and why they were
refuted rather than deleting the evidence. A closed/filtered observation at one time
