Evaluating threat seriousness hinges on how concrete and believable the threat appears. A level described as highly specific, comprehensive and plausible signals a credible, well-developed plan, showing the individual has thought through details such as targets, timing, and means.

The other levels describe threats that are vague or lacking in detail, or indicate no threat at all, which generally suggests lower risk and less immediate intervention is needed.
