Risk matrix

?

Every row the run rates, by section, in the engine's order. Why reads the inputs that set each rating in words; the engine's rule line is beside it. Arrow keys move the selection, Enter opens the row here, Escape closes it.

How a range is read

v2.9: the upper end of the rating. The same rule runs on the assessor's plausible worst case (inputs as they would stand if a pending survey, review or decision went the bad way). Never below the point category; evidence of absence (present=no) has no upper end above 0. For an abstaining row (Unknown) the worst case is rated as if the resource were present, and the row reads "Unknown (up to N)".

"2", "2-3", "Unknown (up to 3)".

Impact and cost

Impact: C = cost, S = schedule. Potential cost level: L, L-M, M, M-H, H (relative to a utility-scale solar budget).
