Manual triage
Backlogs balloon because manual remediation cannot keep pace with new CVEs. Teams spend more time triaging than fixing, SLAs slip, and leadership loses confidence. Forced upgrades break critical services, so fixes stall. Without predictable capacity, backlogs never converge to zero.

Tested and published
Fixes are automatically tested against regression, CVE specific, and functional test suites. If they pass, they are published to your registry. If they fail, Root iterates until they pass.
