Risk & Opportunity Register — User Guide
Overview
Classic Probability × Consequence risk scoring, except the matrix fills itself in from the criteria you score — no separate step to also pick a matrix cell by hand.
Risk vs. Opportunity
Choose Risk or Opportunity when creating a record — each uses different scoring criteria. Risks weigh things like Customer Loss, Job Impact, Health, and Reputation; Opportunities weigh New Business, Expansion, and Process Improvement instead, since a good outcome isn't just a risk with the sign flipped.
The matrix
Set your Likelihood/Occurrence and Consequence criteria, and the 5×5 matrix highlights the matching cell automatically, colored Acceptable, Tolerable, or Unacceptable (or Pursue / Pursue with Limits / Decline for an Opportunity). This happens for both the Inherent score (before controls) and the Residual score (after controls/treatment plan) — showing the effectiveness of your treatment as a single number.
Using the register
- Filter by category, type, or status; sort and choose rows per page.
- "Import" brings in a register you already keep in Excel — export CSV works the same way in reverse.
- "Columns" shows or hides any column, remembered on this device.
- The 👁 and ✎ icons open a quick view/edit popup without leaving the register.
