The risk that deserves attention first, not the one entered most recently

Every risk carries an impact and a probability that multiply into a score, so the register sorts itself by what is actually worth worrying about. A risk lives on the project that raised it, and the workspace view rolls every project’s register into one heatmap.

Enterprise and White-label

Why this exists

  • A risk register is usually a spreadsheet tab nobody opens between the kickoff meeting and the postmortem.
  • A list sorted by entry date puts the most recent worry at the top, not the most dangerous one.
  • Impact and probability get discussed once in a meeting and then live nowhere anybody can see them again.

What it does

Score every risk the same way

Impact and probability each run 1 to 5 and multiply into an exposure score, labelled Low, Medium, High or Critical, so severity is a number instead of somebody’s impression.

Sort by what is actually worth worrying about

The register orders itself by exposure, highest first, rather than by whatever was typed in most recently.

See the whole shape at a glance

An impact-by-probability heatmap shows how many risks sit at each combination; click a cell to filter the register down to exactly those.

Track status without leaving the list

Move a risk between Open, Mitigating, Monitoring, Accepted and Closed, and re-score its impact, probability or category, right from the register, inline.

Roll every project’s risks into one view

A risk belongs to the project it was raised on; that project’s own tab shows just its register, and the workspace-wide Risk Analysis page rolls every project together, filterable by company.

Cross-check against the real ledger

When Accounting is enabled, the page adds live financial risk metrics straight from your books: cash, runway, overdue receivables and payables, current and quick ratio, days sales outstanding, and how concentrated revenue is in your top client.

What it does not do

The part you would otherwise find out in week three. If one of these is central to how you work, raise it before you buy rather than after.

  • Adding a new risk is not yet a button on this page or on a project’s Risks tab; both are built for scoring, filtering and updating the status of risks already in the register.
  • The register does not show or let you edit a written mitigation note or a longer description on either page; only title, category, impact, probability, status and a due date appear.
  • The financial risk panel needs Accounting turned on; without it, the page still shows the register and the heatmap, just not the live ledger metrics.
  • Risk Analysis is on Enterprise; it is not included on Free or Pro.

Questions, answered

How do new risks get into the register?+

Today, adding one is not a button on this page or on a project’s Risks tab: both are for scoring, filtering and tracking the status of risks that are already logged. If starting a register from nothing is central to how you plan to use this, ask before you buy.

What counts as a Critical risk?+

Impact and probability each run 1 to 5; multiplied together, 20 and up is Critical, 13 to 19 is High, 7 to 12 is Medium, and below 7 is Low. The heatmap and the register both use the same scale.

Does this connect to the accounts at all?+

Yes, if Accounting is enabled. The page then adds a live panel of financial risk metrics, cash, runway, overdue receivables and payables, liquidity ratios and revenue concentration, computed straight from your ledger rather than typed in separately.

Can I see risks across every project in one place?+

Yes. A risk belongs to the project that raised it, and that project’s Risks tab shows just its own; the workspace Risk Analysis page rolls every project’s risks into one heatmap and one sortable register, filterable by company.
