Compliance Burden with severity of compliance and safety impact of 18 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the compliance burden calculation on the strong side: severity of compliance and safety impact of 18 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when a team needs to prioritize controls for REACH, RoHS, IRA sourcing, customer audits, SDS, dust permits, impurity reporting, chain of custody, or qualification documentation.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Severity of compliance/safety impact: 18 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 7)
  • Likelihood the compliance gap occurs: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Difficulty of detecting the gap before it ships: 5 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Compliance burden risk score = compliance impact severity score × compliance occurrence score × compliance control detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 9.85 score for compliance burden risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 score for compliance impact severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for compliance occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for compliance control detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where severity of compliance and safety impact sits at 7 score and the headline result is 5.45 score, this scenario comes in 80.73% above the baseline at 9.85 score.
  • Use it during compliance risk reviews, audit prep, or when prioritizing which graphite-processing control gap to close first. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
