THE RAVEN POWER LIST
The 14 Most Powerful Families in Software
How a small group of library families came to run the core of the digital world - and why security never sees them act.

The digital world has a power structure. This is its map.
THE PROBLEM
At runtime they disappear behind the application process. Security sees the building - never the tenants. A clean CVE scan says nothing about what a library is doing right now.
THE SHIFT
AI now reads their open source at machine speed, tracing exploitable paths before a weakness gets a name, a patch - or a CVE. The families' power is public. So is the way in.
