Methodology
Relevance is a match on your industry sector and technology stack against the MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 group graph (174 groups, 821 software families, 56 campaigns). It is computed deterministically from that data, with no language model in the request path. It is a relevance match, not threat-intelligence probability data: it tells you which documented actors and techniques are worth emulating for an org like yours, not a forecast that any specific group will act.
TurboPentest can autonomously exercise 0 of 5 of this actor's documented techniques today (0%). 4 are out of scope for automated testing (social engineering, denial of service, physical).
These counts are computed from the vendored MITRE ATT&CK graph and the published coverage map, and are reproducible from source.
