PRIS framework

How ready are you for the risks already in your portfolio?

Twenty questions, scored against the five pillars of the PRIS framework, plus a short sector module. You get a readiness score per pillar, how that compares with a typical profile, and the practices costing you the most. No account, no sales sequence.

How it is scored

Four levels of readiness

Each pillar is scored from 0 to 100. Your overall score is the mean of the five, so a single strong pillar cannot mask a weak one — which is exactly how risk behaves.

0–34

Exposed

Risk is handled by individual effort. Problems are discovered at the point they become expensive.

35–54

Reactive

The building blocks exist but are applied inconsistently, and usually after the fact.

55–74

Managed

A working process most projects follow. The remaining gap is analytical rather than procedural.

75–100

Predictive

Risk is quantified, simulated and driving decisions. The value now is portfolio consistency.

What you are being measured against

The five pillars of PRIS

PRIS — our Project Risk Impact Simulator methodology — treats risk management as a cycle rather than a document. Each pillar depends on the one before it, which is why registers maintained without quantification so rarely change an outcome.

  1. 01

    Identification

    Structured, continuous surfacing of risk across all six categories — technical, financial, operational, strategic, external and ESG.

  2. 02

    Quantification

    Consistent probability × impact scoring, calibrated so figures can be compared, aggregated and defended.

  3. 03

    Simulation

    Scenario and Monte Carlo modelling, so commitments are made at a stated confidence level rather than a hopeful date.

  4. 04

    Mitigation

    Costed, owned responses whose effectiveness is measured — and replaced when the residual score does not move.

  5. 05

    Communication & reporting

    Role-specific reporting that gives boards exposure, trend and the decision required, not eighty rows of spreadsheet.

After the assessment

A score is not the point. What you do next is.

Send us your result and we will tell you honestly whether the gaps it shows are worth spending money on — including when the answer is that they are not.
