NeuroSEC BETA Execution Tracker v1.0
Product: NeuroSEC Company: SECVerge Technologies Program: NeuroSEC BETA Track: BETA Execution Document Type: Living Execution Tracker Version: 1.0 Overall Status: 🟡 INTERNAL VALIDATION PREPARATION Primary Objective: Safely introduce NeuroSEC to increasingly realistic users and environments, measure real-world performance, identify defects and usability problems, and determine whether NeuroSEC is ready to progress toward Release Candidate and General Availability.
1. Execution Principle
NeuroSEC BETA will not begin as an unrestricted public release.
Execution will progress through controlled waves:
Wave 0 — SECVerge/Internal Validation
→
Wave 1 — Trusted BETA Users
→
Wave 2 — Controlled Closed BETA
→
Wave 3 — Expanded BETA
→
Release Candidate
→
GA Readiness
Progression is based on product evidence and quality metrics rather than calendar dates.

5. TRACK B — Issue Classification
Every BETA finding should be classified consistently.
| Classification | Meaning |
|---|---|
| BLOCKER | Product cannot reasonably continue BETA |
| CRITICAL | Security, protection, data integrity or severe reliability issue |
| HIGH | Major functionality impaired |
| MEDIUM | Feature works but has meaningful issue |
| LOW | Minor defect or cosmetic issue |
| UX | Usability/design problem |
| DOC | Documentation gap |
| COMPATIBILITY | Environment/OS/application conflict |
| PERFORMANCE | CPU/RAM/network/latency problem |
| READINESS GAP | Requirement missing from the original BETA Readiness framework |
| FEATURE REQUEST | New capability requested by users |
6. Issue Register
| Issue ID | Date | Wave | OS | Build | Severity | Category | Description | Reproducible | Status | Fix Build | Retest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NB-001 | ⬜ |
Additional rows should be added continuously.
7. BETA Learning Register
This is separate from the bug register.
It captures lessons that should improve future SECVerge BETA programs.
| Learning ID | Related Issue | Lesson | Readiness Standard Missing? | NeuroSEC Tracker Updated? | SECVerge Master Standard Updated? | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NL-001 | ⬜ |
Example:
Issue: Portal remained green after endpoint tunnel stopped.
Product Fix: Correct stale status handling.
Readiness Lesson: Portal truthfulness under endpoint failure must always be tested.
Framework Change: Add mandatory “actual state vs displayed protection state” test to all applicable SECVerge products.

Documentation
Security concern
Feature request
General feedback
This prevents feature requests from being mixed with BETA-blocking defects.

20. Transition to GA Readiness
BETA completion does not automatically mean General Availability.
Following successful BETA and Release Candidate validation, NeuroSEC should move into a separate:
NEUROSEC GA READINESS
Typical GA subjects will include:
Commercial production capacity, production monitoring, formal support, SLAs where applicable, backup/recovery, disaster recovery, operational ownership, security sign-off, licensing, production distribution, final legal/privacy documentation, production release management, incident response, customer onboarding, commercial support and long-term maintenance.
These are deliberately separated from initial BETA Execution.
21. Current NeuroSEC BETA Execution Status
| Field | Current Value |
|---|---|
| Current Stage | Wave 0 — Internal Preparation |
| External BETA Started | NO |
| Windows Package | Available — Validation Required |
| macOS Package | Available — Validation Required |
| Internal Testing | Preparing |
| Trusted BETA Users | Not Yet Invited |
| Closed BETA | Not Started |
| Expanded BETA | Not Started |
| Release Candidate | Not Started |
| Overall Status | 🟡 IN PROGRESS |
22. Continuous Improvement Rule
At the end of every major BETA finding:
Find Issue → Fix Product → Retest → Determine Root Cause → Determine Whether Readiness Should Have Detected It → Update NeuroSEC Readiness → Update SECVerge BETA Standard
This loop is mandatory.
NeuroSEC therefore becomes the first practical implementation of the evolving SECVerge BETA governance framework rather than an isolated product test.
