Where the points came from

  • How many areas are affected5.5 / 15

    4 of the 11 listed areas were rated above N/A.

  • How severely those areas are affected8.8 / 15

    Across the 4 areas that were rated, the average is 1.8 on the Minor-to-Major scale. Areas marked N/A are excluded here — they are counted in the breadth dimension above.

  • Departments affected6.0 / 15

    2 of 5 departments were selected.

  • Operational categories affected3.8 / 10

    3 of the 8 operational categories were answered Yes.

  • How many stakeholder groups are affected5.0 / 10

    4 of the 8 stakeholder groups were rated above N/A.

  • How severely those groups are affected5.0 / 10

    Across the 4 groups that were rated, the average is 1.5 on the Minor-to-Major scale.

  • Compliance and risk position0.0 / 10

    Compliance review: no. Risk assessment: yes. A completed risk assessment scores zero here — the points reflect what is outstanding.

  • Implementation complexity8.0 / 15

    Training yes, pilot yes, rollback plan yes, 2 communication methods, go-live in 32 days.

This score reflects the breadth and severity of the structured impacts identified in the request. Written descriptions provide review context but do not directly change the score.

One row is rated Moderate, above this request’s overall classification

The classification above is the request’s official one: it weighs how far the change spreads as well as how hard it lands, and this change is narrow. The Moderate rating is worth a second look all the same — it is the kind of detail a breadth-aware score is least likely to surface on its own.

How this was calculated

Each dimension is scored against its own maximum and the eight are added together. Grid questions are read twice, once for breadth and once for severity, because those are different questions with different denominators:

  • Breadth counts rows marked N/A in the denominator. That is what makes a change touching one of eleven areas read as narrow, and a change touching eight read as wide.
  • Severity excludes them. One area hit as hard as possible is fully severe; it should not read as mild merely because the form lists eleven areas.

The highest individual impact identified above is a fact about the answers, not a second classification. Its role in the calculation is to trigger the escalation floors below.
