Interaction Risk

Severity-weighted sum of interactions between protocol mechanisms. Critical interactions (cascading liquidations, circular dependencies) score highest.

Why Interaction Risk Matters

Most DeFi exploits target interactions between mechanisms rather than individual components. High interaction severity means more ways things can go wrong simultaneously.
