Kage vs Sequential Thinking

Sequential Thinking scores 24 points higher on the same evidence, which is a real separation rather than noise. Both are measured the same way, on the same day, from public evidence only — so this is a comparison of two measurements rather than two marketing pages. How we measure ›

Neither score is a security verdict — "well maintained" and "nothing known is wrong" are different claims, which is why the audit is a separate row and never folded into the number. The full audit for each, including what a licence adds, is on its own page: Kage · Sequential Thinking.
