Threat Capability and Resistance Strength: A Weight on a Rope

Threat Capability and Resistance Strength in the FAIR taxonomy are among the more abstract and difficult concepts to get a firm grasp on. 

The standard's author seeks to fix these concepts with the analogy of a weight on a rope.  This note models that analogy through a detailed risk analysis to demonstrate how FAIR can be applied to risk scenarios beyond information security.
