8228ed55c4 feat: Add commercial partnership strategy to sovereign tool stack
New section: 'When to Partner Commercially: The Partnership Doctrine'

Addresses the practical reality of a 5-person consultancy growing to
15-20: where open-source wins, where commercial wins, and the decision
framework for choosing between them.

Partnership Decision Framework:
- Capability (24/7 eyes-on-glass = partner)
- Compliance (audit demands vendor logo = partner)
- Scale (>5,000 endpoints = partner)
- Time to value (<30 days = partner)
- Margin (recurring revenue without proportional labour = partner)
- Differentiation (partner makes us generic = refuse)

Tier 1 Strategic Partnerships (deeply integrated):
- Huntress: Managed EDR for 24/7 coverage we cannot staff
- Thinkst Canary: Enterprise deception, high margin, low touch
- Tenable: Compliance-auditable VM for regulated clients

Tier 2 Situational Partnerships (deploy as needed):
- Delinea (PAM), KnowBe4 (awareness), Veeam (backup),
  Proofpoint/Mimecast (email gateway)

Tier 3 Consultant Productivity (not resold):
- Burp Suite Pro, Cobalt Strike/Sliver, training

Also documents what we REFUSE to partner with (all-in-one platforms,
generic SIEM, opaque AI startups, M365 management competitors) and
provides a Year 1 vs Year 3 partnership portfolio roadmap.

97222b0498 feat: Extended arsenal — 13 additional tools for red team, forensics, cloud offensive, and DevSecOps
Added to sovereign-tool-stack.md:

Red Team & Adversary Simulation:
- Sliver: open-source C2 replacing Cobalt Strike for adversary simulation
- Stratus Red Team: executes real cloud attack techniques (AWS/Azure/GCP)
- CloudFox: attacker-view cloud privilege mapping and exploitation

Container & Runtime Security:
- Falco: runtime threat detection for Kubernetes and Linux
- Tetragon: eBPF-based security observability (noted as alternative)

Endpoint Forensics & IR:
- Velociraptor: remote forensic artefact collection and hunting across
  thousands of endpoints via VQL

Threat Intelligence:
- OpenCTI: structured threat actor/TTP/IOC correlation from Filigran

Deception:
- OpenCanary: lightweight honeypot for early network reconnaissance warning

Code & Secrets Security:
- GitLeaks: scans repositories for hardcoded secrets
- Semgrep: lightweight static analysis with full data sovereignty

Email Security Testing:
- GoPhish: open-source phishing simulation and user training

Certificate Monitoring:
- CertStream + crt.sh: real-time and historical certificate transparency
  monitoring for subdomain discovery

Updated: Complete Capability Matrix, Per-Module Tool Pairing (Module 9
and 10 now include extended tools), Deployment Complexity table, and
Integration With Existing Frameworks cross-references.

2b969af2a8 feat: Add sovereign tool stack and integrate ASTRAL/AOC across playbooks
New document: Sovereign Tool Stack — complete capability map for our
open-source consulting arsenal.

Documents updated:
- sovereign-tool-stack.md (new): Maps Prowler, BloodHound, CISO Assistant,
  Purple Knight/Forest Druid, ASTRAL, and AOC to engagement modules and
  antifragile pillars. Identifies 6 gaps with recommended closes:
  Wazuh+Sysmon (EDR), Shuffle (SOAR), TheHive+Cortex (case management),
  Cartography (cloud asset mapping), Syft+Grype+Trivy (containers),
  Zeek+Suricata (network analysis). Includes per-module tool pairing,
  deployment complexity matrix, and integration architecture.
- m365-e3-hardening.md: Added ASTRAL 'configuration immunity' section
  and AOC audit log integration references
- endpoint-management-entry-vector.md: Added ASTRAL for Intune
  configuration backup and drift detection
- modular-engagements.md: Added ASTRAL and AOC to Module 1/2/3
  deliverables; linked sovereign tool stack
- retained-capability.md: Added AOC and Wazuh to detection engineering
  description
- ai-assisted-tvm.md: Added AOC and Prowler to discovery layer table
- blue-purple-team-foundation.md: Added sovereign tool stack reference
  for open-source SOC architecture
- zero-budget-hardening.md: Linked sovereign tool stack
- README.md + index.md: Added sovereign-tool-stack.md to navigation
