# FAQ (stakeholder matrix)
## Quick answers
| Question | Short answer |
| --- | --- |
| What is StellaOps? | A sovereign, offline-first container-security platform focused on deterministic, replayable evidence: SBOMs, advisories, VEX, policy decisions, and attestations bound to image digests. |
| What makes it "deterministic"? | The same inputs produce the same outputs (stable ordering, stable IDs, replayable artifacts). Determinism is treated as a product feature and enforced by tests and fixtures. |
| Does it run fully offline? | Yes. Offline operation is a first-class workflow (bundles, mirrors, importer/controller). See `docs/24_OFFLINE_KIT.md` and `docs/airgap/overview.md`. |
| Which formats are supported? | SBOMs: SPDX 3.0.1 and CycloneDX 1.6. VEX: OpenVEX-first decisioning with issuer trust and consensus. Attestations: in-toto/DSSE where enabled. |
| How do I deploy it? | Use deterministic bundles under `deploy/` (Compose/Helm) with digests sourced from `deploy/releases/`. Start with `docs/21_INSTALL_GUIDE.md`. |
| How do policy gates work? | Policy combines VEX-first inputs with lattice/precedence rules so outcomes are stable and explainable. See `docs/policy/vex-trust-model.md`. |
| Is multi-tenancy supported? | Yes; tenancy boundaries and roles/scopes are documented and designed to support regulated environments. See `docs/security/tenancy-overview.md` and `docs/security/scopes-and-roles.md`. |
| Can I extend it? | Yes: connectors, plugins, and policy packs are designed to be composable without losing determinism. Start with module dossiers under `docs/modules/`. |
| Where is the roadmap? | `docs/05_ROADMAP.md` (priority bands + definition of "done"). |
| Where do I find deeper docs? | `docs/technical/README.md` is the detailed index; `docs/modules/` contains per-module dossiers. |
