Risk matrix

The calculator uses the numbers you enter. With 3 P, 4 S the result is Normalised matrix index: 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12. This is not an ISO 31000 matrix.

This is not an ISO 31000 matrix. API exposure is on API exposure.

How it works

Risk matrix in this calculator is P times S, then 1 to 25 mapped onto 0 to 100. With 3 P, 4 S the result is Normalised matrix index: 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12.

P×S = P × S. index = ((P×S − 1) / 24) × 100. The formula uses P×S and likelihood.

46 / 100 | P×S product: 12 is not an ISO 31000 matrix. Another set of numbers gives 13 / 100 | P×S product: 4, and a further set gives 100 / 100 | P×S product: 25. Empty optional fields do not change the result.

API exposure answers a different question. Fairness gap does too. Here 3 P, 4 S leave 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12.

Type 3 P, 4 S and click Calculate. Two more ready sets sit under the form: 13 / 100 | P×S product: 4 and 100 / 100 | P×S product: 25.

Other numbers on the same labels move the result. The first example gives 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12.

Formula

P×S = P × S. index = ((P×S − 1) / 24) × 100.

How to use

  1. Type 3 P, 4 S.
  2. Leave optional fields empty if you do not want them in the result.
  3. Click Calculate. This set shows Normalised matrix index: 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12.
  4. The second example under the result is Normalised matrix index: 13 / 100 | P×S product: 4, the third Normalised matrix index: 100 / 100 | P×S product: 25.
  5. This is not an ISO 31000 matrix.

Common questions

What do you get from 3 P, 4 S?

Normalised matrix index: 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12. This is not an ISO 31000 matrix.

What about the second example?

Normalised matrix index: 13 / 100 | P×S product: 4.

What about the third example?

Normalised matrix index: 100 / 100 | P×S product: 25.

Is 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12 an ISO 31000 matrix?

No. It is the result from the numbers you enter.

Do empty fields change 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12?

No. Empty optional fields do not change the result.

How is this different from API exposure?

That calculator answers another question. Here Risk matrix stays at Normalised matrix index: 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12.

Does a comma in the number work?

Yes. A comma and a dot mean the same in a number field.

Is the result a diagnosis or official opinion?

No. The result comes from the numbers you enter. an ISO 31000 matrix sits outside this calculator.

Do 2 P, 2 S give Normalised matrix index: 13 / 100 | P×S product: 4?

Yes. That is the second example under the form.

How is the matrix index calculated?

The calculator multiplies likelihood P by impact S. The product from 1 to 25 is mapped onto 0 to 100 with ((P times S - 1) / 24) times 100. In the first example the result is Normalised matrix index: 46 / 100 | P×S product: 12.

What do P and S mean?

P is likelihood from 1 to 5. S is impact from 1 to 5. Both numbers are scores you enter, not measurements from a risk register.

Is this an ISO 31000 matrix?

No. The result is the product of two scores and a normalized index. The calculator is not an ISO 31000 matrix.

Why is the index not 0 when P = 1 and S = 1?

At product 1 the formula gives ((1 - 1) / 24) times 100, which is 0. At a larger product the index rises linearly to 100 at 25.

Can P and S be fractions?

The fields take numbers from 1 to 5. The formula multiplies them as entered; the page is built for whole scores from 1 to 5.
