Why use a uniform CVSS method?

A uniform method gives suppliers, researchers and buyers the same concepts and a machine-readable vector. This allows them to exchange assessments, check assumptions and refine the score for their own environment. Research on vulnerability data shows that inconsistent severity ratings can greatly reduce the quality of further prioritization (Croft, Babar and Li, 2022).

That advantage does not mean that every organization must use the same recovery sequence. The meaningful agreement is: standardize the yardstick, not the decision. Local threat, system context, policy and risk acceptance remain decisive.
