A method you can see — and a model you can shape
“Prove, don't claim” applied to Testify's own scoring. The opposite of a proprietary number a buyer cannot interrogate.
Inspectable by design
The Cyber Maturity Engine is customer-visible inside the platform. A gate engine (canonical gates plus composite scoring), a capability-coverage matrix UI, and a Console for inspecting how scores are produced let a customer see the derivation rather than trust a number.
Authorable — the bridge beyond a fixed formula
An Overlay SDK and a working layer (REST plus MCP tools, with dry-run) let a business author its own methodology, metrics, and risk models in its own language — custom frameworks, gates, and verdicts, without forking or code changes. The platform is teachable to a customer's worldview.
Why this is the brand
You cannot sell "prove it, don't claim it" and run a black box. Transparency of method — to the people paying for and using the platform — is consistent with the brand and is itself part of the product.
Frequently asked questions
Is Testify's maturity score a black box?
No. The methodology is transparent to customers inside the platform — a gate engine, a capability-coverage matrix, and a Console let you inspect how a score is produced — and it is authorable via an Overlay SDK.
Can a customer change or extend the methodology?
Yes. An Overlay SDK and a working layer (REST plus MCP tools with dry-run) let a business define custom frameworks, gates, and verdicts and author its own methodology, metrics, and risk models — without forking or code changes.
Is the scoring method published publicly?
No. Method transparency is to paying customers inside the platform. Testify does not open-source or publicly publish the scoring internals.
