Risk appears before the report
Founders building with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agents can ship quickly. The blind spots move just as quickly: social login, billing, upload, permissions, integrations, and customer data.
The right question is not "did a tool run?". The right question is: has someone validated the impact on the flow that sustains revenue?
Where triage helps
The Promptbook is the first read. It gives the coding agent better questions around routes, access rules, billing, and data handling. Watcher follows after that, tracking visible signals and sensitive changes.
That stage is useful, but it has a limit. It points where to look. It does not replace authorization, scope, controlled testing, and manual evidence.
When to escalate
Risk Review makes sense when a signal repeats or priority is unclear. Manual Pentest starts when the risk touches billing, data, privileged access, or B2B customer trust.
RET uses triage to reduce noise and manual pentest to validate impact. No theater, no absolute promise, and no public checkout for work that needs authorization.
