ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify the direction of the revision (higher or lower threshold), the prior threshold, the new threshold, or the content of the threat model. The canonical claim reflects only the stated purpose and fact of revision.
