Severity Probability Impact Risk Mitigation
(2) Medium Medium Medium Loss of key Personnel This risk cannot be mitigated.
(2) Medium Low High Market Change We cannot stop other research from continuing, however
beach surveys have been done the same way for 50 years.
(1.5) Med/Low Low Medium Beat to Market Too unlikely to be a real issue.
No solution has been formulated in 50 years.
(2) Medium Low High Solution Too Expensive Features of the ABSS like ease of use, accuracy, time and live-saving
will mitigate this risk.
(2) Medium Low High Hardware Failure All electronic devices can fail.
Waterproofing and shock testing are included in the project plan.
(1.5) Med/Low Low Medium Government Specifications Prior to the design phase, we will approach the government
about relevant specifications.
(1.5) Med/Low Medium Low GPS Link Failure While this cannot be avoided, as a feature on the
ABSS a LED will notify the user of signal strength.
The ABSS hardware design has included an external mounted GPS antenna.
Please see the ABSS internal components in our gallery.
(1.5) Med/Low Low Medium Solution Too Complicated The ABSS's simple push-button interface has been developed.
