Damage Scenarios
A Damage Scenario describes the harm that materializes if a threat succeeds. It captures impact ratings across four categories and can carry security-property tags and keywords.
List View
Damage scenarios have their own library. Open Libraries → Damage Library.
The table shows each scenario’s Name (with its auto-generated DS-xxx reference underneath), Keywords (as chips), Used by (a chip for each threat scenario that leads to this damage, or Not used), Total Impact (the worst single-category rating), and an Actions column. Click the name to open the detail page, or a Used by chip to open that threat scenario. Expand a row to see its four impact ratings and the threat scenarios that use it without leaving the list.
- Create — click Add damage scenario in the header. The New Damage Scenario dialog has a required Name plus optional Description, the four per-category impact ratings, Security Properties (multi-select), and Keywords (multi-select). The reference is auto-generated — there is no reference input.
- Delete — click the delete icon in the Actions column; a confirmation dialog appears before permanent removal.

Impact Ratings
The four per-category impact ratings. Each is scored on a six-level scale, stored as 0–5 and labeled None / Negligible / Minor / Moderate / Major / Severe:
| Category | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Safety | Physical harm to people |
| Financial | Monetary loss or liability |
| Operational | Disruption to vehicle or system function |
| Privacy | Exposure of personal data |
The Total Impact shown on the list is the worst rating across all four categories.
Security Properties
The security-property tags linked to this damage scenario.
Used by Threat Scenarios
