European frontier raise — FLAG valuation as company-stated

Use-of-proceeds framing is company narrative — not your ROI model.
Watch how open-weight distribution changes on-prem delivery options without inventing adoption metrics.
FLAG unverified benches/$/assertions where present; defensive guidance only; no PoC; no draft banners.
Map owners before any change: control-plane owner, customer-tenant owner, written rollback approver.
Prefer primary sources from this cycle — vendor PSIRT, CVE/NVD, CISA KEV, engineering posts — over secondary digests.
Authenticated inventory beats hostname spreadsheets: capture version, exposure path, and business owner.
Shrink blast radius first: remove public admin exposure, separate management networks, revoke standing secrets.
Patch only with vendor-supported builds; calendar removal dates for temporary workarounds in the same ticket.
Verify with non-exploit health checks — version endpoints, config dumps, authenticated status APIs — never PoC payloads.
Customer notes must separate confirmed facts from FLAG vendor benches, valuations, or unverified assertions.
QBR evidence includes ticket IDs, before/after versions, approvals, and residual risk with an owner.

Publish hygiene: stable slug, locale pack, meta title/description, hero alt, and zero draft/editorial-review banners.
On-call runbooks need trigger, owner, SLA, rollback, and one proof command that does not reproduce an attack.
If compromise is plausible: rotate credentials, rebuild from known-good images, treat restore paths as production admin.
Multi-tenant MSP tools need server-side tenant binding on every data path; client headers alone are not isolation.
Non-goals: no exploit steps, no bypass recipes, no invented rankings or MRR, no restamp of earlier packs from today.
