What is the scope of a MIAUW investigation?

Why scope is important in security research.

Scope means: what is and is not part of the research. Think of systems, domains, applications, accounts, networks, periods and research questions.

A clear scope prevents misunderstandings. Without a scope, it is difficult to say afterwards whether something was deliberately left out of view or accidentally not examined.
