Attributes are standardized tags you can apply to intake form response options to capture the theme of an answer (not just its exact wording). When a user selects a response, Trustible reads the Attribute attached to that response and uses it as a consistent signal across your program—so you can score and route risk based on meaning rather than maintaining one-off mappings for every phrasing or choice.

This approach helps you standardize risk scoring and question logic: an Attribute can trigger a risk rule and, if configured, launch conditional follow-up questions. For example, multiple response options like “biometric data,” “fingerprint scans,” or “face recognition” can all share the Attribute Sensitive PII, ensuring they activate the same risk treatment and any related conditional questions.

For example, you might offer response choices like “employees only” or “only the Human Resources team.” Even though the wording differs, you can attach the same Attribute—Internal users—to the response so they consistently trigger the same risk rule and any follow-up questions you’ve configured for internal-only access.
