Whatever narrative you or I choose to attach to Demi and Jeremy's discussion of risk, the fact remains that in the movie, Jeremy takes drastic action after listening to Spock but not after listening to Demi.
Yes. But they also take drastic action because the volatility has exceeded the model 5-6 days in the last two weeks and Irons cannot hear a thing - while she flagged the risk a year prior.

I think everyone in the film is clearly very good at the job and also basically do the only things they could. They matter but also don't. It's part of what I think makes it such a good film.

What has she been doing for the last year?

BTW, I think the 2nd risk assessment associate does not show he is clearly very good at his job.

You never answered my question: what additional scenes would you have liked to see written for Demi?

QuoteHer job. She escalated the risk, a decision was taken and there's probably plenty of other risks to manage in the next year - plus decisions to take with firing people etc.

No idea. I'm not a writer and I'm not saying there's a gap in the plot (although I don't think I've ever spotted a plot hole :lol:). Just think she's good in it and a bit underused compared to some of the others.
