🎯 How to Use the Interactive Risk Matrix
Getting Started: The demo loads with sample risks. Click "Add Risk" to create new risks, or double-click existing risks to edit their details. Use the probability and impact sliders to score each risk.
Risk Scoring: Rate probability (1-5) and impact (1-5) for each risk. The matrix automatically calculates risk levels and color-codes them on the heatmap. Red = High Risk, Yellow = Medium Risk, Green = Low Risk.
Heatmap Visualization: Watch risks appear on the heatmap in real-time as you score them. Drag risks between cells to adjust their scores, or use the risk list to manage multiple risks efficiently.
Demo Mode: This is a fully functional demonstration - try adding your own risk scenarios! Data isn't saved, but Essential ERM provides persistence, version control, and team collaboration.
