"Today, I hope to be as mediocre and average as possible!" - Said no one ever who made a difference To me, a baseline isn't just the starting point for recognizing threats. It is also a way to structure my personal learning by seeking to identify the "why" and "how" behind all of the things that I observe each day. Establishing the baseline jump starts the process of understanding what I am looking at so that I can begin to look for elements of behavior that I have not seen or observed before. This process is how I structure my learning so that I can be continuously building and expanding my file folders needed to make recognition primed decision making a reality.
