Compliance Documentation with severity of documentation gap of 15 score: a worked example in ppe & infection control products

What does the result look like when severity of documentation gap reaches 15 score? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when compliance documentation in ppe and infection control products needs a defensible ranking against other ppe and infection control products risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Severity of documentation gap: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood the gap occurs: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Chance the gap is caught before audit: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where severity of documentation gap 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 severity of documentation gap is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. The score is only as consistent as your scoring guide; without anchored 1-to-10 definitions, two reviewers will rate the same gap differently and the ranking loses meaning.
