Precisely! The default action for a 'company creation' step is to
manufacture n threats associated with that company. The behavior of
defaulting those records for each company as it is created belongs in
the Company model (in my opinion).
If you have different 'default' threats depending on what kind of
company is created (threats are dependent on a company attribute), then
all the more reason for that defaulting logic to be contained in the
company model.

You would create an instance of each desired threat type for each
company when the company was created. No threat sharing was intended in
my earlier response, sorry for the ambiguity.
