Communicating Risk
An RSI Communicating Risk method
Visualization of risk trade-offs
Broadly
This method helps audiences see the consequences of different risk management options, including benefits, harms, and uncertainties. Tools may include decision trees, cost-benefit matrices, and comparative risk charts. Effective visualization supports informed consent, participatory governance, and democratic legitimacy in complex decisions.
More specifically
RSI develops risk trade-off visualizations to support policy dialogue, stakeholder negotiation, and public engagement. These tools make competing priorities—such as health, economic, and equity outcomes—visible and discussable. RSI ensures that trade-off communication is transparent, evidence-informed, and adaptable to both technical and public-facing settings.
