 ### Goal
 
 - Find as many threats as possible, but report back your top three risks
 
 ### How?
 
-- What are the assets in this feature?
-- What do you want to protect?
-- Are there areas of the system that a bad actor wants access to or go after?
-- What is important to them? How can they take advantage?
+- Where are trust boundaries?
+- What is important to the entities around the boundaries? How can a threat agent take advantage?
 - Review the diagram and use STRIDE to discover threats/concerns/risks
