+## How device value impacts your exposure score
+
+The exposure score is a weighted average across all devices. If you have device groups, you can also filter the score by device group.
+
+- Normal devices have a weight of 1
+- Low value devices have a weight of 0.75
+- High value devices have a weight of NumberOfAssets / 10.
+    - If you have 100 devices, each high value device will have a weight of 10 (100/10)
