Returns a drift classification (improving/stable/regressing/mixed), score delta, and lists of improvements and regressions. Use to answer "did our security score improve or regress since last time?" — distinct from compare_baseline which checks compliance against a fixed policy (not improvement over time).

Returns a risk level (minimal→critical), per-control sub-scores, and plain-language summary of how easy it would be to spoof email from the domain. Use when asked how easy it is to spoof email from a domain, or for a composite email spoofing risk score.

Runs a full security audit on each domain in the list and returns score, NIST-aligned letter grade (6-band A+/A/B/C/D/F), and finding counts per domain. Use when you want to audit multiple domains at once or do a bulk scan of several domains simultaneously — distinct from compare_domains which does a side-by-side analysis of 2–5 domains. Version stamps (hoisted once per batch): 'scoringModelVersion' is the scoring POLICY semver and is INDEPENDENT of 'dnsChecksPackageVersion', the @blackveil/dns-checks npm engine-package version — the model version legitimately lags and the two must not be compared. Record 'scoringConfigHash' when citing scores.

Aggregates every scan-included check in parallel (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, TLS/SSL, MTA-STS, CAA, BIMI, subdomain takeover, and more) and returns an overall security score, NIST-aligned letter grade (6-band A+/A/B/C/D/F), maturity stage, and prioritized findings. Use for a comprehensive single-domain audit, to get a domain's overall security grade, or to assess email security maturity. Version stamps: 'scoringModelVersion' is the scoring POLICY semver (changes only when weights/thresholds/severities change, so it advances slowly) and is INDEPENDENT of — never comparable to — 'dnsChecksPackageVersion', the @blackveil/dns-checks npm engine-package version, which moves every release; a lower model version is expected, not a version gap. When citing a score, record 'scoringConfigHash' — it identifies the exact scoring configuration that produced the result.
