Overview

Calculated Risk is Strise's automated risk classification system. It assigns a Calculated Risk Class to each entity in your portfolio by scoring the entity across multiple risk categories and comparing the total score against your team's predefined risk class thresholds.

The Calculated Risk Class reflects the entity's risk profile based on objective data — such as PEP status, sanctions hits, industry, country, legal form, and custom risk levels — as configured by your team. It is the foundation for consistent, auditable, and policy-aligned risk assessments across your portfolio.

You can find these settings under Settings > Calculated Risk in the app. Only team managers can modify these settings.

📌 The Calculated Risk Class is a system-generated classification. It can be supplemented or overridden at any time using the Manual Risk Level during a Review (see section 5).

1. How Calculated Risk is set up

Calculated Risk uses a point-based scoring model. Each risk category contributes a number of risk points depending on the data found for a given entity. The points from all active categories are summed together to produce a total risk score. This total is then compared against the risk class thresholds you have defined — for example, 0–30 points = Low, 31–70 points = Medium, 71+ points = High.

It is completely up to you how many risk classes you want to use, what they should be called, how long each validity period should be, and many points should be in each of these risk classes.

Scoring flow

The process works as follows:

1. When any entity is opened in the product, Strise evaluates the entity's current data across all configured risk categories. Here you can see a product shot of the risk summary on an Entity page. ℹ️ If you hover over the Calculated risk class, you will always see how it is calculated.

1. Each category contributes risk points based on whether a risk factor is present (e.g., PEP hit, high-risk industry, sanctioned country)
2. Points from all categories are summed into a total risk score
3. The total score is compared against the risk class thresholds defined in your Risk Class settings
4. The entity is assigned a Calculated Risk Class (e.g., Low, Medium, High, or in this example above; Severe)

The Calculated Risk Class is displayed on the entity page, in the Portfolio overview and in the Review view.
