The Risk Calculation

Actual Risk = I × P

Impact (1-5)

How much does this hurt the project?

Probability (1-5)

How likely is it to happen?

Note: A score of 12 or above requires an active strategy. Scores of 1-11 are typically "monitored" or "accepted."

T.A.M.E Strategies

Transfer

Pass the risk to someone else (e.g. Insurance).

Accept

Live with it if the cost of fixing it is too high.

Mitigate

Reduce the Impact or Probability (e.g. Backups).

Eliminate

Change the project so the risk doesn't exist.

Grade Distribution

Scores were categorized into four tiers based on technical accuracy and engagement.

Final Results Summary

The cohort demonstrated high professional maturity in identifying environmental risks (weather, outages) alongside technical risks (CSS selectors, malformed tags).

Most of you correctly applied the numerical threshold (12+) to trigger a TAME strategy. This demonstrates that you are beginning to think like "Unofficial Project Managers" who quantify their obstacles before attempting to solve them.
