Important Information:
This quiz is a simplified component of the comprehensive Public Outrage Predictive Modelling (POPM) process. Reducing the criteria to a quiz format inherently limits input options and accuracy. Therefore, the results should be used as a general guide only and not relied upon solely as a definitive assessment of the risk level for your project.
