2.2 — RS/OT pair assessment

Workshop 2.2: assess the relevance of each risk source / targeted objective pair identified in 2.1, and decide which ones are retained for the rest of the study.

The two rating axes

Axis	Question
Motivation	How much does the risk source want to achieve this objective?
Resources	Does it have the means to do so — technical, financial, human, time?

Combining the two gives the relevance of the pair, on four levels: Highly relevant · Fairly relevant · Moderately relevant · Barely relevant.

Two views

Table — one row per pair: source, objective, motivation, resources, relevance, priority, and the Retained indicator (YES / NO).

Rating matrix — a Motivation × Resources grid. Clicking a cell cycles through the relevance levels. This is the fastest view for rating in a group workshop session.

Retaining a pair

Only pairs marked Retained move on to Workshop 3 and feed the mapping to feared events.

Retaining is not the same as rating

A highly relevant pair can be excluded (out of scope, already handled elsewhere), and a moderately relevant pair can be retained for a client requirement. The decision is explicit and distinct from the rating — it is what defines the scope of Workshop 3.
