How does the risk check work?
Two things matter when you are dealing with a people issue: how much process risk is involved, and how urgently the business needs it handled. This tool checks both and gives you a colour-coded result.
Green
Usually manageable with care. Lower procedural complexity. Still worth getting the basics right.
Amber
Some meaningful risk or complexity. There may be process steps, documentation gaps, or escalation risk worth watching.
Red
High-risk, high-sensitivity, or high-impact. The way this is handled from here could create real exposure.
