Risk Matrix
Businessweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
The risks you've named are rarely the ones that hurt you — it's the ones left floating around as vague unease. The Risk Matrix pins each one down: the risk, its likelihood, its impact, both rated low to high, and the mitigation you'd actually take.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How does a risk matrix work?
For each risk you record how likely it is and how badly it would hurt — Low, Medium or High on both counts — then write the mitigation next to it. High-and-High entries get your attention first; the rest get to stop haunting you.
Is this risk register kept confidential?
Entirely — it's one HTML file running offline in your browser, so your list of what could go wrong never leaves the page. No account, no cloud, and the file is yours forever.
Is a risk matrix overkill for a small project?
An hour with a risk matrix is the cheapest insurance a small project can buy. Five entries is a perfectly respectable matrix; the point is naming the dangers, not filling a page.
