Option Mix Complexity Score with option mix impact score of 3.5 score: a worked example

This worked example runs the option mix complexity score numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: option mix impact score of 3.5 score instead of the typical 7 score. Score option mix complexity using option impact, option recurrence, and configuration control weakness.

The inputs for this scenario

Option mix impact score: 3.5 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 7)
Option mix recurrence score: 6 score (held at the documented default)
Option control weakness score: 4 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Option mix complexity score = option mix impact score × option mix recurrence score × option control weakness score.
Option mix complexity score works out to 4.5 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
Option mix impact score works out to 3.5 score at these inputs.
Option mix recurrence score works out to 6 score at these inputs.
Option control weakness score works out to 4 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

Against the tool's baseline example, where option mix impact score sits at 7 score and the headline result is 5.9 score, this scenario comes in 23.73% below the baseline at 4.5 score.
Use it during option-portfolio reviews, configurator rule-setting, or when a recurring build problem traces back to specific option pairings and you need to rank what to fix. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
