The risk matrix results from the combination of extent-of-damage or benefit classes (vertical) and probability of occurrence classes (horizontal). In the respective cells of the matrix, the corresponding risk factors are multiplied to obtain the risk indicator, called the risk ratio or opportunity ratio. The higher the risk ratio, the more critical a risk is and the more urgently it should be addressed to prevent serious consequences. The lower the opportunity ratio (i.e. the further into the negative range it reaches), the greater the opportunity and the more it should be exploited to generate profit. In the dashboard, risks are often ranked according to the risk ratio, e.g. in the KPI Top Risks/Opportunities.
