The DANGER Checklist

Home » Back Matter » The DANGER Checklist by Section

Data Classification

In order to best evaluate and present each danger, an Index was created based on the probability (P) of each danger occurring, the future timing (T) of the potential danger, and the possible impact (I) of each danger. The combined scoring of these factors results in the PTI Index. The index is not scientific but rather a combined and weighted representation of the research, surveys, and interviews that enable the dangers to be placed in order of significance as to the level of danger they present.

Index

In evaluating each danger, the overall result is presented in the PTI index (Probability, Timing and Impact), which ranks the danger in order to provide a level of comparison between the five sections of the report. The Danger Index represents a composite, overall score.
