Compliance Documentation with documentation-gap severity of 15 score: a worked example in surgical robotics manufacturing

What does the result look like when documentation-gap severity reaches 15 score? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when compliance documentation in surgical robotics manufacturing needs a defensible ranking against other surgical robotics manufacturing risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Documentation-gap severity (patient-safety and audit impact): 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Documentation-gap occurrence (how often records are incomplete): 4 score (unchanged)
  • Documentation-gap detection (how likely QA catches it before release): 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 documentation-gap severity 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 documentation-gap severity is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. Multiplying three ordinal 1-10 scores produces gaps and ties in the scale, so a raw RPN should guide, not replace, engineering judgment about a specific record.

Results at a glance

  • Compliance documentation risk score: 8.15 score (headline result)
  • Compliance documentation severity score: 15 score
  • Compliance documentation occurrence score: 4 score
  • Compliance documentation detection score: 3 score
