Break-even probability

Find the residual probability at which a response breaks even in expected monetary terms.

Formula · Guide · Applied

Compare the cost of a risk response

Make the no-action option explicit, then compare complete expected costs. Keep financial efficiency separate from whether the worst case is tolerable.

Expected monetary value

Combine an estimated probability and impact while keeping the full downside visible.
