Risk Quality Score
The Quality Score (0–100) measures how well a risk is governed, not how severe it is.
Why Quality Score?
Traditional risk registers often have risks that are incomplete, out of date, or unowned. Quality Score gives you an objective measure of governance completeness so you can prioritise which risks need attention.
Note: A high-quality score does not mean a risk is unimportant. It means the risk is being actively and thoroughly managed.
How It's Calculated
Quality Score evaluates 9 dimensions:
| Dimension | Description |
|---|---|
| Title clarity | Is the title clear and specific? |
| Cause description | Is the cause well-described? |
| Event description | Is the event well-described? |
| Effect description | Is the effect well-described? |
| Owner assignment | Has an owner been assigned? |
| Assessment completeness | Have probability and impact been assessed? |
| Response strategy | Has a response been planned? |
| Review discipline | Has the risk been reviewed recently? |
| Impact quantification | Is the financial/schedule impact estimated? |
Each dimension contributes points to the total score.
Score Bands
| Score | Band | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | Excellent | Fully governed |
| 60–79 | Good | Well managed |
| 40–59 | Needs Attention | Gaps in governance |
| 0–39 | Poor | Significant gaps |
