Sensitivity levels and usage requirements as follows: ( 1 - Low: Anyone can use it any time. 2 - Moderate: Some training required. If you break it, you fix it. 3 - Significant: Significant training required. 4 - Very High: Unlikely to allow anyone not well-trained to use it. Might be considered fee-for-use, etc. 5 - NA: I have it, but will not share it. )
