The question after the present-day style of deformation in the Alpine foreland (thick-skinned versus thin-skinned) is closely related to this key question. Together with the consideration of uncertainties regarding the mapping of seismogenic zones and/or line sources alternative zonations are presented in form of a logic tree with 21 branches. Area sources play a predominant role in the working area located at the margin of a diffuse plate boundary.

Since PEGASOS demanded an analysis of annual probabilities down to one event in 107 years, the question after the value of the maximum possible earthquake magnitude Mmax and related error in Mmax estimates plays a crucial role.
