# Benchmarks and performance

Purpose
- Validate accuracy, performance, and determinism claims.
- Detect regressions across analyzers and policy logic.
- Provide reproducible comparisons against external tools.

Core areas
- Scanner performance (cold and warm paths).
- Reachability accuracy using ground-truth corpora.
- Determinism and replay verification.
- Competitive parity for key ecosystems.

Claims alignment
- Claims are backed by benchmark outputs and deterministic fixtures.
- Evidence artifacts are stored alongside hashes for audit.
