What this blueprint gives you

The “run your own bounty program without a per-report platform fee” model in one ownable plan. Security teams take submissions through a public form, triage them in a queue, score severity with CVSS, link duplicates, hand off to engineering, and pay researchers — all with an audit trail and a public hall of fame.

Five planning documents (BRAND, MRD, BRD, PRD, DESIGN) at senior-team depth, covering intake, scoring, deduplication, researcher communication, payout pipeline, and program metrics.

MRD — Bug Bounty Triage The problem A growing security program eventually outgrows the spreadsheet and email model and the per report platform fees that come with public bounty platforms. Reports pile up in a shared inbox, severity is inconsistent across triagers, duplicates get paid twice (or the second researcher gets a curt rejection and a damaged relationship), payouts are tracked in a finance sheet that nobody on the security team can see, and the program has no defensible metrics to bring

BRD — Bug Bounty Triage Business outcomes 1. Lower per report cost than a public platform at comparable volume — the headline ROI for security leadership. 2. Faster, more consistent triage. Median triage age, CVSS vector compliance, and decision turnaround. 3. Healthier researcher relationships. Response SLA adherence, dispute rate, repeat submitter share. 4. Defensible program metrics. Quarterly numbers leadership can act on (severity mix, MTTR by severity, payout budget burn). Success metrics
