methodology-development workshops, including:\n• the ability of this criterion to significantly increase risk scores, specifically, if a weed has a moderate to high\npotential distribution (see Appendix 4)\n• concern that this criterion may skew a weed-risk score, specifically, if there is a high degree of uncertainty\nassociated with the potential distribution score, for example, a reliance on modelling data or knowledge that\nis lacking or out of date\n• that the potential distribution score is derived from a single question, which may compound any uncertainty\nor misrepresentation associated with a potential distribution score (as opposed to other multifactor criteria,\nsuch as impacts and invasiveness)\n Source: `strategies/National-Biocontrol-Prioritisation-Framework_web.pdf
