Risk Register Block
Document multiple related risks in a single register with matrix visualisation. Track risks across a project, service, or domain with shared review cadence.
The Risk Register block consolidates multiple risks into a single, manageable collection. It displays risks in a visual matrix showing impact versus likelihood, making it easy to prioritise attention. Use this block when you need to track all risks for a specific scope.
