Thoughts on using 'possible'/'probable'/'impact' scoring versus simple high/med/low?

Seen too many threat models where the scoring system is the biggest threat. High/med/low is lazy, but at least everyone knows it's meaningless. The three-point scales just add more ways to be wrong with confidence.

If you're scoring "probable" without real telemetry or "impact" without a business context, you're just decorating a guess. I'd rather see a clear "assumed in scope" and "assumed out of scope" than a pretty matrix. Show me the failure mode, not the color.


Show me the PoC.
