Cathode Active Material & Precursor Manufacturing worked example

Compliance Reporting with reporting failure severity of 15 score: a worked example

What does the result look like when reporting failure severity reaches 15 score? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when compliance reporting in cathode active material and precursor manufacturing needs a defensible ranking against other cathode active material and precursor manufacturing risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Reporting failure severity: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood of reporting failure: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Likelihood failure escapes detection: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Compliance reporting risk score = reporting impact severity score × reporting occurrence score × reporting detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for compliance reporting risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for reporting impact severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for reporting occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for reporting detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where reporting failure severity sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when reporting failure severity is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. The score is only as good as the consistency of the scoring scale — it ranks relative risk, it is not an absolute probability or a substitute for legal review.

Results at a glance

  • Compliance reporting risk score: 8.15 score (headline result)
  • Reporting impact severity score: 15 score
  • Reporting occurrence score: 4 score
  • Reporting detection score: 3 score
