Failure / Threat Matrix
Scenario-to-response map for operational stress events.
The Failure and Threat Matrix defines deterministic response doctrine so stress events trigger architecture, not improvisation.
1. Purpose and Scope
The matrix catalogs critical threat classes, impact domains, detection signals, and layered response paths across Sagitta subsystems.
Its role is to preserve solvency and depositor protection during disruption.
2. Matrix Entry Model
Each threat entry maps a full response chain:
- Threat Vector.
- Impact Domain.
- Detection Signals.
- Primary Response.
- Secondary Response.
- Fallback Response.
- Recovery Requirements.
3. Threat Classes
The whitepaper includes doctrine for classes such as:
- Allocation underperformance.
- Reserve depletion pressure.
- Stablecoin or settlement asset impairment.
- Execution and counterparty failure.
- Governance compromise or malicious control attempts.
- Liquidity mismatch and withdrawal stress.
- Oracle or telemetry corruption.
- Infrastructure-level outages and chain disruption.
4. Response Doctrine
Response sequencing is layered: containment first, then stabilization, then controlled restoration.
The protocol narrows risk authority during uncertainty and expands only after recovery conditions are satisfied.
5. Continuity Integration
The Sagitta Continuity Engine orchestrates evacuation, substitution, and reconstitution across matrix-defined failure states.
Threat handling remains deterministic and role-bound even under severe degradation.
6. Summary
The matrix operationalizes survivability doctrine across systemic risk conditions.
It ensures protection and accountability persist when dependencies fail.
