audit-context-building

Building deep context before a smart contract security audit ensures you meticulously understand every function's inputs, outputs, assumptions, and invariants, preventing missed vulnerabilities. This establishes a stable mental model that evolves with new evidence during analysis.

Perform line-by-line code analysis to find vulnerabilities by applying First Principles, 5 Whys, and 5 Hows at a micro scale. This links granular insights to functions, modules, and the entire system, identifying invariants and reasoning hazards.

The best way to analyze code assumptions and invariants for a deep dive is using an ultra-granular approach that applies First Principles at a micro scale. This methodically maintains a stable mental model while identifying flows and assumptions.

Yes, you can use first principles and 5 Whys to trace architectural flows in code. Applying these techniques at a micro scale links granular line-by-line insights to functions and modules, maintaining an evolving mental model of the entire system.

Deep code analysis helps identify reasoning hazards during vulnerability discovery by maintaining a stable mental model that evolves with new evidence. It systematically maps invariants and assumptions to prevent logical errors during audits.
