GSE Compliance Documentation Risk Score with ramp safety impact severity of 20 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the gse compliance documentation risk score calculation on the strong side: ramp safety impact severity of 20 score, with every other input held at its documented default. a safety, quality, or compliance manager needs to rank documentation risk before GSE shipment or release

The inputs for this scenario

  • Ramp safety impact severity: 20 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8)
  • Documentation exposure likelihood: 6 score (unchanged)
  • Documentation review control score: 5 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (GSE documentation risk score = ramp safety impact severity × documentation exposure likelihood × documentation review control score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 11.35 risk score for gse documentation risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 20 score for ramp safety impact severity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 6 score for documentation exposure likelihood.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for documentation review control score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where ramp safety impact severity sits at 8 score and the headline result is 6.55 risk score, this scenario comes in 73.28% above the baseline at 11.35 risk score.
  • Use it before equipment release or customer delivery to decide which documentation packs get full review versus a spot check. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance
