Red, Yellow, Green: How We Score Technical Risk

Colour ratings are worthless without stated thresholds. The value of a scoring model lies in its repeatability across targets, not in its presentation.

The thresholds we apply

• Green: no remediation required before the buyer's first planned initiative
• Yellow: remediation is scoped, funded, and can run alongside the roadmap
• Red: the roadmap cannot begin until the issue is resolved

Every score carries the evidence and the estimate behind it, so a deal team can challenge the reasoning rather than argue about the colour.
