Threat Level Assessment

Welcome to our Threat-Level Assessment

This tool gives you a working threat level so you can pick the right Arsenal start path. It's not a rank, not a diagnosis, and not proof that anyone is after you.

15 questions. About 5 minutes. Each answer adds points. Your total is a working threat level, not a badge and not a diagnosis. Override it if it is wrong. Re-take it when your situation changes.

How public is your name, face, or work?

Almost nobody outside family and close colleagues would recognize me

I have a normal professional presence (LinkedIn, company bio, local reputation)

I publish, speak, sell, or organize under my real name to a wider audience

I am regularly quoted, attacked, or searched because of what I say or do

What was your strongest incident in the last 24 months?

Nothing beyond ordinary spam, a suspicious email, or a platform warning

Account lockout, payment freeze, or a scam that cost time or money

Doxxing, coordinated pile-on, smear, or targeted harassment

A named person or group is still trying to harm my reputation, income, or safety

Police, regulator, lawyer, or employer investigation tied to my speech, money, or associations

Do you currently have a specific person, group, or organization with a reason to watch or disrupt you?

No. Risk feels general (platforms, crime, noise)

Not sure; the environment is hostile but I cannot name an actor

Yes, a private individual or informal group (rival, harasser, criminal)

Yes, a company, political org, media outlet, or activist network

Yes, a government body, regulator, or someone who can compel records or travel screening

What best describes your work or public activity?

Private individual; little public output

Standard job inside an organization; I am not the face

Owner, freelancer, journalist, researcher, lawyer, doctor, or other role with confidential clients or data

Activist, commentator, organizer, or candidate

I handle other people’s money, secrets, or security

How often to you cross international borders or experience enhanced screening?

Rarely or never

A few times a year, ordinary tourism or family

Regular work travel, including high-scrutiny routes

I live across jurisdictions or keep serious ties in more than one country

I have been secondary-screened, denied boarding, or questioned about devices or associations

If your primary phone and laptop were seized or lost tonight, what walks away?

Almost nothing important; I could recover from memory and one other place

Personal mail, photos, saved logins, painful but not existential

Work, finances, private communications, and identity documents live on those devices

Other people’s data, keys to money, or material that could be used against me or others

How do you handle logins and recovery today?

Hardware keys and non-SMS 2FA on mail, money, and cloud

Password manager plus app-based 2FA on important accounts

A password manager, but SMS or email is still the recovery path

Browser-saved passwords and SMS codes

I do not know

Where does most of your spendable value live?

Deliberate split across institutions, rails, and at least some self-custody

Mix of banks plus some self-custody I actually control

Several accounts, still all custodial, still one country

One bank or brokerage in one country, in my legal name

I could be locked out of most of my money by one freeze or one app

Could a determined stranger map your home, family, employer, and opinions from what is already public or leaked?

No realistic chance

With some digging, yes, like most people

Yes; I have already seen my address, family, or workplace posted or guessed correctly

Yes, and I keep publishing in ways that keep that map fresh

How much of your information diet is algorithmic?

I mostly choose my sources on purpose

Mixed; I drift into feeds more than I like

Most of what I see is chosen by a feed

I know I am captured and I still cannot stay off it

When a major geopolitical or market shock hits, what do you usually do?

I have a simple personal map (income, location, assets, mobility) I can update

I wait until it is obvious how it touches my rent, job, or location

I collect headlines and stay anxious without a decision framework

I treat every shock as proof I must overhaul everything immediately

Have you been told, clearly, that speech, banking, travel, or employment would be restricted if you did not comply?

Soft pressure only (HR warning, demonetization, shadowban)

Yes, explicit threat of firing, deplatforming, account closure, or visa/travel trouble

Yes, threat of legal process, confiscation, or physical harm
