*4.3. Modularity*

Two criteria are included as well in this group: (1) useful subcomponents related to intermediate outputs of the fire danger systems and (2) embodiment of other indices. Both are rated in a binary form, adding a point to the overall sum for every criterion that is fulfilled. Modularity is not a necessity; however, it can be considered as a leverage in the calculation process as well as in the integration of the deployed indices.
