Matrix itself is an area in between horizontal and vertical axis (usually representing Severity of possible risk consequences and Probability or Likelihood of its occurrence) with separate smaller rectangular fields representing the risk estimation labelled with letters or numbers within the section that sets up axis parameters.
- Value for each risk is calculated based on the formula in the Axis section of these settings that takes value of each category within Risk factors that is selected by risk analysis team. Another parameter that influences where the risk will fall within the matrix is Value of each Definition within Scale of Axis that is set up above the matrix in Settings.
- Editing names and parameters of Axis, Definitions and its values is described in the article How to set up and edit horizontal and vertical axis of the risk matrix?

Risk matrix setup determines which level of Severity and Probability of the risk is “acceptable” by marking these fields as “green” and which level is unacceptable, marking such boxes into “red”, “orange” or “yellow” color.
