In discussing the nuances of physical-risk situations, it's essential to tailor security plans according to the specific needs and circumstances of the individuals involved. A practical approach is to clearly delineate guidelines based on the user's profile. For example, ordinary self-custody users generally require a basic set of security measures. In contrast, those who possess higher risk or value should consider enhanced protections, such as involving a remote co-signer. This distinction helps prevent misunderstandings about the safety of self-custody solutions across different user groups. By categorizing recommendations, users can more easily identify which advice pertains to their particular situation, thereby making informed decisions about their security arrangements.

Moreover, adding a section titled "Who is this for?" could significantly improve clarity and applicability of the information provided. Such a section would guide users in assessing their level of risk and the corresponding security strategies they should adopt. This tailored advice ensures that each user group receives relevant and actionable information, enhancing both the practicality and the effectiveness of the security measures discussed. It also mitigates any undue concerns by specifying that while self-custody may be perceived as risky, appropriate steps can be taken to safeguard assets according to individual risk profiles.
