AI Governance Score with impact severity if the model fails of 18 score: a worked example

Push impact severity if the model fails up to 18 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when a model risk owner needs to rank governance gaps before a production AI review or audit.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Impact severity if the model fails: 18 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 7)
  • Likelihood a governance gap occurs: 5 score (unchanged)
  • Difficulty of detecting the gap: 4 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (AI governance risk score = governance impact score × governance gap occurrence score × governance detection difficulty score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 9.95 score for ai governance risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 score for governance impact score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for governance gap occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for governance detection difficulty score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where impact severity if the model fails sits at 7 score and the headline result is 5.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.28% above the baseline at 9.95 score.
  • It multiplies impact severity, occurrence likelihood, and detection difficulty into a single governance risk score for ranking models against each other. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
