🎈 Concept:

Imagine each risk as a hot air balloon floating through the Risk Sky, whose altitude = impact and wind speed = probability. Depending on how high and how fast it moves, you must choose a different response strategy to keep the risk under control.


🔧 Key Design Elements:

  • Y-Axis (Altitude): IMPACT – How dangerous is the fall if the balloon fails?

  • X-Axis (Wind Speed): PROBABILITY – How likely is it that wind (random events) will push it off-course?
