moderate risk
Not entirely safe
Moderate risk describes a level of potential harm or loss that falls between low and high—significant enough to warrant attention but not so severe as to demand immediate action or avoidance.
The phrase appears in medical contexts a moderate risk of complications, financial planning moderate risk investments, and safety assessments.
Something at moderate risk requires caution and monitoring rather than alarm or dismissal.
