DREAD vs CARVER: Different Questions, Same Evidence

CARVER asks: "Who should we investigate next?" — targeting priority. Military origin (SOCOM).

DREAD asks: "How bad is it when the evidence goes public?" — damage potential. Microsoft origin (threat modeling).

Key divergence: Ghislaine Maxwell scores 25/30 CARVER (convicted, low targeting priority) but 48/50 DREAD (maximum realized damage). MBS scores 24/30 CARVER (high value) but 28/50 DREAD (sovereign immunity blocks exploitation). The frameworks measure different things. Both matter.
