Military intelligence?

<<<<Here's how the header describes the ratings. IMHO, it's a very strange description. Especially where they give the same description for both "improbable failure" and "probable failure". And, how they describe "remediation, testing and contingency planning" as "a few loose ends". Something just doesn't add up here.>>>>

Try 1.5

<<<<
1 = Occurrence of Failure Improbable
2 = Occurrence of Failure Probable
3 = They don't explain what 3 is. I assume it means Definite Failure.
U = Unknown

In the html the following is given as a description of 3:

<<A risk factor of "3" or "u" (unknown) normally means we have not yet received an answer from the utility company in question or they have not yet agreed to meet or talk with us. Accordingly, we are assuming the worst case…but only for purposes of a Naval Installation preparing its contingency plans, nothing else.>>
