Risk register
The register
cause, then effectScoring that means something
Score is likelihood times impact, 1 to 25. This sheet computes it and colors it: 1 to 6 green, 8 to 12 amber, 15 to 25 red.
Write cause and effect. "Because the vendor has one integration engineer, a resignation would stall the gateway by a month."
High score, then response. Reds get a mitigation and a contingency; greens get watched, not worked.
Re-score on review. A risk whose score never moves is either mis-scored or nobody is looking.
This is the deep dive; the RAID log is the overview. Keep the top three from this register mirrored on the RAID page so the one-page view stays honest.
Scores compute in the sheet, nothing is sent anywhere, and everything saves in this browser only.
