AI Governance Score with impact severity if the model fails of 3.5 score: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop impact severity if the model fails to 3.5 score, then walk the calculation through step by step. Score industrial AI governance risk using impact, control maturity, and audit readiness ratings.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Impact severity if the model fails: 3.5 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 7)
  • Likelihood a governance gap occurs: 5 score (held at the documented default)
  • Difficulty of detecting the gap: 4 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: AI governance risk score = governance impact score × governance gap occurrence score × governance detection difficulty score.
  • AI governance risk score works out to 4.15 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Governance impact score works out to 3.5 score at these inputs.
  • Governance gap occurrence score works out to 5 score at these inputs.
  • Governance detection difficulty score works out to 4 score at these inputs.

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 25.23% below the baseline at 4.15 score.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to impact severity if the model fails, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It is a relative ranking tool, not an absolute risk measure; scores are only comparable when every model is rated on the same consistent scale.

Results at a glance

  • AI governance risk score: 4.15 score (headline result)
  • Governance impact score: 3.5 score
  • Governance gap occurrence score: 5 score
  • Governance detection difficulty score: 4 score
