Where the article explains it
If graph edge e has exploitation probability and consequence multiplier , prioritization cannot use alone.
The passage around this formula
An attack path is a sequence of capabilities. If graph edge e has exploitation probability and consequence multiplier , prioritization cannot use alone. A low-probability path to release signing can dominate frequent harmless prompt deviations. Remove edges before trying to make the model refuse them.
