Meet ThreatPad!

I love the simplicity (but) I’d suggest more granularity in the rating scales. Low, medium, and high are great for first swag, but (for example) real world likelihood/frequeny can vary from:

  • as unlikely to occur as an extinction-level asteroid strike to
  • occurs thousands of times per minute/second

And real world “how bad” can vary from:

  • Trivial, walk it off to
  • Extinction level event

Cost is one of the easiest to quantify:

  • Pocket Change through
  • Decades of GDP

I’ve used logarithmic scales In the past to help with some pretty huge dynamic ranges and also made creative use of adverbs (eg. extremely unlikely) but I don’t have any better suggestions than those.

I do love what you’ve created
