16 risks, each scored on how likely it is and how much damage it would do
Filter category
Risks scored—
Mean severity (of 25)—
Highest-severity risk—
How to read it: each dot is one risk. It sits further right the more likely it is, and
higher up the more damage it would do. The shaded background runs from calm (bottom-left) to dangerous
(top-right), so the risks that matter most are the big dots in the upper-right. Severity is just likelihood × impact,
from 1 to 25. The scores are our own judgement, not market data — the table below gives the reasoning for each.
