Limitations and unknowns

KEV membership is authoritative for the catalog, not proof of exposure in any environment.
EPSS is a dated model probability and not an individual-environment prediction.
Affected or fixed status applies only to the exact cited product and version scope; unresolved scope remains unknown.
NVD-carried upstream facts remain derivative and are not independent corroboration.
Only NVD metrics validated under the generation-bound calculator are Public Priority eligible; direct CVE record metrics remain display-only.
NVD CVSS source eligibility is closed: NVD-authored, exact record-source, or registered same-CVE container origin; unmapped sources remain display-only.
Factor D is unknown in Public Core because no accepted canonical mapping-obligation ledger is present.
Core replay supports the active and immediately prior generation; retrospective valid-at replay is deferred.
