Overdue Gauge Risk with overdue gauge impact severity of 3 score: a worked example
Suppose overdue gauge impact severity falls to 3 score. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Rank the risk created by overdue or unrecalled gauges by combining quality impact, likelihood of use, and the strength of lockout or recall controls.
The inputs for this scenario
- Overdue gauge impact severity: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
- Likelihood of overdue gauge use: 4 score (held at the documented default)
- Recall and lockout detection score: 3 score (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Overdue gauge risk score = severity score × 0.40 + occurrence score × 0.35 + detection score × 0.25.
- Overdue gauge risk score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Overdue gauge impact severity works out to 3 score at these inputs.
- Likelihood of overdue use works out to 4 score at these inputs.
- Recall and lockout detection score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where overdue gauge impact severity sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
- It computes a weighted risk score that prioritizes severity, then likelihood of overdue use, then detection capability. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
