Reading your result

What your score actually means.

The number moves as you change the inputs, but on its own it does not tell you what to do on Monday. Here is how we read each band when we walk through a result with a leadership team.

Where your inputs land right now
100Critical residual risk
Low0 to 29

Contained

Your AI footprint is still small, or the controls around it are already doing most of the work. Failures are possible, but they stay local and you can recover from them without calling anyone at midnight.

Start here

Keep the inventory current and re-run this before the next big rollout. Teams in this band rarely stay here on purpose. They drift upward quietly as adoption spreads team by team.

Moderate30 to 49

Manageable

AI is doing real work in places that matter, and your controls are partly keeping up. In our experience the gap here is almost never policy. It is testing and monitoring.

Start here

Pick the two or three use cases carrying the most revenue or regulatory weight and get evidence they behave under pressure. A written policy nobody tests will not hold at this level.

High50 to 69

Pressured

Exposure is moving faster than control. Usually one input has run ahead of the governance around it, and it is either agent autonomy or the sensitivity of the data being handled.

Start here

Put approval gates back on the highest impact actions while you build out testing and monitoring. This is the band where one bad afternoon stops being a support ticket and becomes a board conversation.

Critical70 to 100Your current band

Exposed

A material failure is a question of timing rather than chance. Sensitive data, autonomous action, and thin controls are all sitting in the same place at the same time.

Start here

Slow autonomy down deliberately instead of waiting for an incident to do it for you, and fund control maturity as a program with a named owner. Anything softer tends to get overtaken by the next deployment.

Bands are a guide, not a verdict. Two companies can land on the same score for completely different reasons, and the fix depends on which input is doing the work. If one slider is clearly driving yours, that is where the conversation should start.

From exposure to economics

Five KPIs that connect AI risk to the bottom line.

01

AI Value at Risk

Financial value exposed when AI fails, leaks data, makes the wrong decision, or is misused.

02

Expected Annual Loss

Probability-weighted estimate for budgeting, prioritization, and risk acceptance.

03

Control Maturity

Strength of inventory, governance, testing, access, monitoring, and response controls.

04

Risk Reduction

Expected financial exposure removed by improving controls and reducing autonomy risk.

05

Investment Leverage

Risk dollars reduced for each dollar invested in AI assurance and security.

The formulas behind this calculator are intentionally transparent and illustrative. Replace the assumptions with validated organizational data before using the outputs for formal financial, legal, insurance, or risk-acceptance decisions.

Let's make your AI secure, smart, and accountable.

Book a 30-minute executive briefing. We'll pressure-test where AI and security intersect in your business, then point at the wins that are both fastest and safest to take first.

No pitch deck marathon. One focused conversation with the people who'd do the work.
