There has to be a Bodyguard Corporation that has generalized training:
*reviewing the music deal footage*
Senior Bodyguard: The most recent meeting concluded peacefully, however it behooves us to use this time to do threat assessment and training for new hires.
*Points to Motoko*
SB: Now what can you tell me about the opposition? Describe them, and make a threat assessment.
*Points to Junior Bodyguard*
Junior Bodyguard: The opposition is young, wearing typical StreetKid attire, obviously armed. Threat Level Low
SB: Good start, but absolutely incorrect threat assessment.
*Zooms into Motoko*
Firstly, the opposition looks young, but her ward is clearly a Corpo, with the prevalence of Body Sculpt with Corpo and Solo industries, her visual age becomes irrelevant. She could be 90 year old Solo for all we know.
*Points at her fit*
Secondly, obvious StreetKid attire, but once again her Ward is clearly a Corpo, and such an inconsistency requires further investigation. She is wearing Kevlar-weave attire, meaning minimal-protection maximum style, typical StreetKid, but you missed an important part..
*Zooms into her neckline, and emphasizes her Netrunner Leotard*
Opposition was wearing a Netrunner Suite, so we can safely label assume that she is a Netrunner, which automatically bumps her threat level to Medium.
*Zooms into her gun-belt*
Thirdly, she is clearly armed, but her choice of armament speaks volumes of her threat level, a Burya and Lexington.
*Pans to Burya*
A Burya is overkill for most Street-level threats and its low capacity and high recoil becomes a hindrance for most firefights, but its the only sidearm rated against Borgs, meaning she has the chrome and confidence to use its regularly. The Chrome, Confidence and Borg Gun warrants another bump to her Threat Level to High.
*Pans to the Lexington*
The Lexington is a good all around weapon. This covers most of the weaknesses of the Burya. Not enough to bump her Threat level higher.
*Pans back out*
But all these together, paints a much more terrifying picture. A Netrunner that has enough fighting skills to warrant carrying a Borg-killer Burya and General purpose Lexington, and wielding all these with enough Chrome and Confidence to openly flaunt. Taken altogether this bumps her Threat level to Dangerous. All in package that makes most people dismiss her as a threat.
*Gesture to Junior Bodyguard*
These are all the things you have to learn to pick-out in protection details. If the deal went sideways, the best method to protect your own wards would be to escape.
