    The document discusses three key factors in blackmail: 1. The victim's payoff for complying must be high enough that resisting is not tempting. 2. The blackmailer's payoff for the victim resisting must be less than their payoff for punishing the victim if they resist. 3. The victim will comply if their actual risk of the blackmailer's threat being carried out is higher than their critical risk or willingness to resist. Otherwise, they will resist.
