Utility curves can be increasing or decreasing, linear or non-linear.
- The question for the evaluation is indicated at the top of the page. The question can be read automatically using the text-to-speech functionality. The name of the event being evaluated is indicated, in our example, we just use A -- but normally this is the event name. The "Utility Curve" is the threat or objective name to which the event data is being evaluated. The text-to-speech can play on-demand or auto-play as you click the play or speaker buttons respectively.
- The x-axis is the data for the event (or threat given another threat) being evaluated
- The y-axis is the corresponding likelihood or impact given the entered data
