1. Data Collection: Collect and prioritize Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) data

3. Model Application: Load CIKR and population data into the Risk Baseline Analysis Model; run data against these values:
      
   • Threat (intent and capability or likelihood)
   • Vulnerability (recognizability, resilience, counter-measure effectiveness)
   • Consequence (human, economical, mission, psychological)
4. Metrics Validation: Conduct Subject Matter Experts (SME) workshop to refine and validate the vulnerability and consequence metrics
5. Baseline Creation: Build situational and strategic understanding using validated data
6. Capabilities Analysis: Identify and rank the relevance of target capabilities (from HSPD-8) within the risk environment
7. Preliminary Review: Review and evaluate preliminary findings
8. Final Risk Baseline & Report: In four to eight weeks, produce final risk baseline and report incorporating all findings and feedback
