User and problem

Where the tool fits

Designed for: Change managers, CAB participants, service owners, technical leads, and implementation coordinators.

Problem addressed: Change reviews can become subjective when risk factors, mandatory controls, rollback readiness, and decision evidence are not evaluated consistently.

Method

Transparent calculation and record logic

The methodology is intentionally visible so users can challenge the assumptions and validate the result against authoritative evidence.

How the application works

  • Normalizes weighted factor scores to a 0–100 risk score. Familiarity, rollback confidence, and resource coverage are inverse-risk factors.
  • Excludes controls marked N/A from the completion denominator but never treats mandatory incomplete controls as ready.
  • Classifies readiness as Ready, Conditional, or Not ready using risk thresholds, control completion, and mandatory-gate status.
Illustrative output
Risk score: 47 / 100
Controls complete: 82%
Readiness: Conditional
Decision: Approve with conditions

What the result does not prove

  • The scoring model is a governance aid, not a substitute for technical testing or organizational approval.
  • Weights and thresholds are fixed in this version and may not match every risk framework.
  • A Complete control is a user assertion; the tool does not independently verify evidence.
Working data remains local to this browser unless the application explicitly describes an external request or the user exports a file. Browser storage can be lost when data is cleared or the device changes.
Organizational fit

Use the method as-is or adapt it to your operating model.
