# SPRINT_4500 SUMMARY: VEX Hub & Trust Scoring
|
|
|
|
## Program Overview
|
|
|
|
| Field | Value |
|
|
|-------|-------|
|
|
| **Program ID** | 4500 |
|
|
| **Theme** | VEX Distribution Network: Aggregation, Trust, and Ecosystem |
|
|
| **Priority** | P1 (High) |
|
|
| **Total Effort** | ~6 weeks |
|
|
| **Advisory Source** | 19-Dec-2025 - Stella Ops candidate features mapped to moat strength |
|

|
|
## Strategic Context
|
|
|
|
The advisory explicitly calls out Aqua's VEX Hub as competitive. This program establishes StellaOps as a trusted VEX distribution layer with:
|
|
1. **VEX Hub** — Aggregation, validation, and serving at scale
|
|
2. **Trust Scoring** — Multi-dimensional trust assessment of VEX sources
|

|
## Outcomes
|
|
|
|
1. VEX Hub aggregates statements from all configured sources
|
|
2. API enables query by CVE, PURL, source
|
|
3. Trivy/Grype can consume VEX from hub URL
|
|
4. Trust scores inform consensus decisions
|
