Too high:

You mess up the paperwork, either for cryonics or life insurance

What if we add in "your ugh field around immediate paperwork is bigger than the one around distant death"? Speaking from an empirical sample of one, .03 is far too low in that case.

OK, I thought from how it was spoken about that the category was for an unknown error causing a problem after the fact.

If it's for the ugh field, it's too low, if it's for an undiscovered error causing problems, it's too high.
