Overall risk
Minimal spuddling risk
Every category reflects exemplar practice. The IPR is well placed to support genuine, well-evidenced Board decision-making.
Overall risk
Low spuddling risk
The fundamentals are in place, but at least one category is holding the report back from exemplar status. A few targeted improvements should close the gap.
Overall risk
Elevated spuddling risk
Several elements need work before the Board can rely on this report with confidence. No category is at the strongest level, so there's meaningful room to reduce noise and sharpen the signal.
Overall risk
High spuddling risk
At least one category is at the weakest level. The Board's attention is likely being pulled toward small, insignificant data movements rather than genuine signals.
