An RSI Managing Risk method
Policy and regulatory option appraisal
Policy and regulatory option appraisal is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better manage risk.
Broadly
Option appraisal compares policy or regulatory interventions to determine which best achieves risk management objectives. It may include cost-benefit analysis, risk reduction potential, feasibility, and equity impacts. Appraisal helps prioritize actions, justify decisions, and align with legislative mandates. Its complexity depends on the scope, evidence base, and political context.
