Correspondent Risk

Score correspondent deployment risk from supplied operational indicators.

Description

Correspondent risk screening combines supplied hazard indicators with a support offset.

Correspondent risk screening combines supplied hazard indicators with a support offset. Its weights describe a fixed heuristic, not a validated probability.1

Score correspondent deployment risk from supplied operational indicators.

When to use Correspondent Risk

Use this tool to score correspondent deployment risk from supplied operational indicators.

Prepare the text, recorded observations, aligned figures or editorial criteria requested. Confirm what each label, count, timestamp or supplied flag represents before interpreting the result.

How to use Correspondent Risk and understand its results

  1. Prepare the text, recorded observations, aligned figures or editorial criteria requested. Confirm what each label, count, timestamp or supplied flag represents before interpreting the result.
  2. Enter activeHostilities, detentionRisk, limitedMedicalAccess, communicationsBlackout, localSupportAvailable using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
  3. Read riskScore, riskLevel, triggeredRisks. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
  4. If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
Input fieldMeaningValue type; see rules belowRequirement
activeHostilitiesActive hostilitiesbooleanRequired

localSupportAvailableLocal support availablebooleanRequired

Enter five booleans. Return score, active hazard keys in fixed order and band: high at ≥6, elevated at ≥3, otherwise low. Support reduces score without removing listed hazards.

score=max(0,3hostilities+3detention+2limitedMedical+2blackout−2support)

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Limitations and assumptions

No location, threat intelligence, medical access or assignment safety is verified.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
