Triage & Validation

One wrong answer = kill the finding. Saves your N/A ratio.

When to invoke

Trigger phrases:

• "validate finding"
• "is this reportable"
• "should I submit this"
• "7 question gate"
• "run the gates"

Always invoke this BEFORE [[hackerone-reporting]] or [[bugcrowd-reporting]].

The 7-Question Gate

Before writing ANY report, answer all 7. If you can't, kill or improve the finding.
