This resource guide helps BTAM teams move beyond the vague, often misleading label of “unfounded” and toward clear, defensible language about risk. It explains why terms like “no risk of violence exists” or “did not rise to the level of posing a threat” can create false certainty, confuse stakeholders, and undermine organizational liability protection. The guide introduces a core disposition phrase, “No evidence of risk to others at this time,” and then walks readers through a structured taxonomy for documenting low-concern or no-evidence cases. It differentiates between types of “no evidence of risk” dispositions, offers a simple triage framework for cases that don’t warrant a full threat assessment, and provides practical examples of what to say instead of “unfounded,” resulting in a practical, field-ready tool to strengthen documentation, communication with leadership, and overall BTAM defensibility.
