== Risk Model ==
<riskmodel name="BreachRisk" calculation="ProviderSecurity_BreachRate * AuthStrength_Multiplier">Your risk of a data breach is about {result}%</riskmodel>

The BreachRisk model calculates the annual probability of a data breach by multiplying the provider's baseline breach rate by the authentication strength multiplier.

'''Note''': These risks are averages and may vary by specific provider, user behavior, or system configuration.
