Classification
- Risk domain One of 9 areas of human risk, from social engineering to readiness and response. Every signal belongs to one.
- Evidence level
- Maturity practices One capability a program performs, scored on its own: See, Understand, Act, Prove, Govern and Culture.
- Leads to The kind of breach the evidence beneath it points toward, each anchored to a Verizon DBIR or VERIS pattern or an FBI IC3 category.

How it is used
Programs count "Reports a real incident or near miss" per person from SIEM, SOAR & incident tickets and read it beside the other Readiness and response signals; it feeds 0 cohorts, 0 sequences and 3 breach scenarios.
A "reports a real incident or near miss" event is evidence of a protective behavior; a vigilant behavior at any step breaks a sequence. It is one event, and it does not cancel the risky signals the same person carries.
