What you get from this lab

This tutorial reproduces the published UHBS evaluation proof for analysts who need to verify numbers, not trust a screenshot. After a successful run you should have:

  • SCORECARD.txt — verbatim module table, UHQS, letter grade, and δ_C Safety Gate
  • report.json — machine-readable scores for automation / diffing
  • Optional harness logs under the lab telemetry directory

How CTI / blue team should use the artifacts

  1. Open the full SCORECARD first (authoritative). Treat quick as a smoke check unless the methodology says otherwise.
  2. Read modules A–F with READING-UHQS.md: low B is often “credential sink by design,” not a broken decoy.
  3. Confirm δ_C = 1.0 (or understand why containment failed) before citing UHQS externally.
  4. Wire your own log shipping; UHBS Module C is harness visibility, not SIEM coverage.

Trust limits

  • UHBS 4.2.2 evaluation proof is informative — not a certification, endorsement, or ranking.
  • Product names appear only under docs/conformance/ as evaluation evidence.
  • Re-run after upstream or TPS changes; do not invent scores without regenerating artifacts.
