   - ApModel ----+  (peel additive-progression obfuscation)
   - PageStore      (walk pages, verify CRC, parse slotted dirs)
   - SYSTABLE       (SA17 system catalog)

OpenSQLAnywhere has no knowledge of the QuickBooks schema; it exposes plaintext SA17 pages and the deobfuscation primitive. OpenQBW provides the rest.
