Risks

Track open, snoozed, resolved, and false-positive risks tied to records.

UpdatedMay 7, 2026

Risks track things that may block, weaken, or invalidate a decision or project. The operating model is:

Commitment -> Signal -> Evidence -> Materiality -> Owner -> Decision -> Exit

What a risk contains

FieldPurpose
SummaryWhat could go wrong and why it matters
TargetThe decision or project the risk belongs to
SeverityWatch, At risk, or Blocked
StateOpen, Snoozed, Mitigated, or Not a risk
OwnerA person, team, or unassigned
EvidenceThe raised event, plus notes and artifact links that explain the risk
MaterialityTracked, Watch commitment, Material risk, or Material blocker
Control planDue date and escalation path for unresolved risk
DecisionThe decision needed now, plus one primary next action

Materiality combines business impact with operational gaps. A risk can become more material because evidence is missing, the owner is missing, confidence is low, the source is stale, the signal repeats, or the control plan is incomplete.

Create a risk

  1. Open Risks.
  2. Click New risk.
  3. Write the summary.
  4. Choose a decision or project as the target.
  5. Add owner, evidence, due date, escalation path, and severity when known.
  6. Save.

You can also flag a risk from a decision or project detail page. Quick raise opens the created risk so you can complete owner, evidence, and control-plan details.

Manual risks start with confidence from source coverage: lower without evidence, higher with a human note.

Review risks

Use the list filters to switch between:

  • Open
  • Snoozed
  • Mitigated
  • Not a risk

Search covers risk title, summary, recommendation, target, owner, linked artifact title, and evidence excerpts.

Each risk shows one primary action:

  • Add evidence when proof is missing
  • Assign owner when no owner is assigned
  • Complete control plan when due date or escalation path is missing
  • Open target for blocked risks with owner, evidence, and control plan
  • Mark mitigated when the risk is ready to close

Close or reopen a risk

From the risk detail page, use lifecycle actions to:

  • mark mitigated
  • mark not a risk
  • snooze with a reminder date
  • reopen

Lifecycle actions require a reason for audit history.
