How Risk Assessment Matrix Works in SolveRight

When you run a decision through SolveRight, Risk Assessment Matrix is one of up to 155 frameworks that analyze your options simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 4 key data points from your decision description, then the qualitative-impact rubric computes a normalized 0-100 score for each option. This score is combined with results from other frameworks to produce your overall ranking, with contradiction detection highlighting where Risk Assessment Matrixdisagrees with other methodologies.
