ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to establish an applicable range of criticality values that can apply to people, processes, and technologies. It discusses the meaning and importance of using the constraints and liberties created in the second and third principles to allow for flexibility when applying weights and creating a weighted score that is applicable to multiple objects. The chapter examines the benefits of interview-based data collection combined with the use of big data in scoring objects using the weighted score. Mitigation is the act of lessening the severity or intensity of damage to an object through taking action after a disaster has occurred. A weighted object score, considered in a range of criticality values, will vary and is used to frame each weighted object within a common loss grouping—the quartile value within the range of criticality value. Objects are liminal, networked, traced, and vectored to geographies written out as Global Positioning System coordinates.
