    What does each step mean?

    1. Risk named starts the chart. Score it happens before the branch so the diamond is not a feeling.
    2. Likely and severe? plans a control or accepts and watches.
    3. Set a review date is shared. An accepted risk without a date is forgotten.
    4. Done ends this risk. The next risk is a new pass, not another arrow on this page.
