Key points

A short piece on the assumptions, modeling choices, and practical relevance behind this topic.

  • Dynamic-risk topics get clearer when students can point to one concrete behavioural pattern such as retry attacks.
  • Attack-fault-tree supervision works better when the student can quickly compare a baseline model with one extended scenario.
  • The main supervision goal was to connect modelling choices to interpretable risk changes rather than just add more structure.
