AN QUALITATIVE "EQUATION" OF IMPACT
IMPACT = SEVERITY + POSITION + DEPENDENCY + CONNECTIVITY + CONSEQUENCE
Concept:
A qualitative description of an impact can be translated into
structured ordinal numeric values by evaluating five dimensions:
Severity, Position, Dependency, Connectivity, and Consequence.
1. SCORING SCALE
| NUMERIC VALUE | QUALITATIVE MEANING |
|---|---|
| 1 | Very Low / Minimal |
| 2 | Low |
| 3 | Moderate |
| 4 | High |
| 5 | Very High / Critical |
IMPACT SCORE = S + P + D + C + K
S = Severity —
seriousness of the direct effect.
P = Position — strategic or structural importance of the affected node.
D = Dependency — degree to which other elements depend upon the affected node.
C = Connectivity — number and strength of relationships with other nodes.
K = Consequence — magnitude of downstream effects.
P = Position — strategic or structural importance of the affected node.
D = Dependency — degree to which other elements depend upon the affected node.
C = Connectivity — number and strength of relationships with other nodes.
K = Consequence — magnitude of downstream effects.
Minimum Score: 5

Maximum Score: 25
2. QUALITATIVE IMPACT → QUANTITATIVE VALUES
Each sentence below represents a qualitative description of an
impact condition. The sentence is then translated into five
ordinal numeric values.
EXAMPLES 1–25 — VERY LOW TO LOW IMPACT
| # | QUALITATIVE SENTENCE-LINE | S | P | D | C | K | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A minor delay in a non-essential activity creates almost no noticeable effect on the overall system. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 |
| 2 | A small documentation error affects only one low-priority record and is easily corrected. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 6 |
| 3 | A temporary interruption in an optional process causes only a minor inconvenience. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 6 |
| 4 | A missing low-value input slightly reduces the efficiency of one isolated task. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 6 |
| 5 | A minor communication gap affects one activity without disturbing connected activities. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
| 6 | A small scheduling error causes a brief delay in a secondary activity. | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 7 |
| 7 | A minor equipment irregularity affects an auxiliary function but does not stop operations. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
| 8 | A low-priority task is completed late, but the main workflow continues normally. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
| 9 | A small data inconsistency requires correction but does not affect important decisions. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 7 |
| 10 | A minor resource shortage slightly reduces the performance of a peripheral activity. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 7 |
| 11 | A localized mistake creates a small rework requirement with no meaningful downstream effect. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
| 12 | A minor interruption affects one supporting function while the primary process remains unaffected. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 13 | A low-level quality issue is detected early and corrected before propagation. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 14 | A secondary communication channel becomes unavailable without affecting the main communication route. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 8 |
| 15 | A small inventory discrepancy requires checking but does not interrupt production. | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 8 |
| 16 | A minor software malfunction affects an optional feature but leaves core functions operational. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 8 |
| 17 | A delayed approval slightly slows a peripheral activity without affecting the critical path. | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 18 | A minor procedural deviation requires correction but produces little operational consequence. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 19 | A small supplier delay affects a non-critical material with sufficient alternatives available. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 20 | A minor human error creates additional checking work but does not compromise the process. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 21 | A small network interruption affects only an isolated workstation. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 22 | A minor scheduling conflict is resolved without affecting dependent operations. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 8 |
| 23 | A small administrative omission creates limited corrective work. | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 24 | A low-priority component becomes temporarily unavailable while substitutes remain accessible. | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 9 |
| 25 | A minor operational disturbance produces a small localized consequence with rapid recovery. | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 9 |
3. IMPACT INTERPRETATION
| TOTAL SCORE | IMPACT CATEGORY | GENERAL INTERPRETATION |
|---|---|---|
| 5–8 | MINIMAL | Localized and easily absorbed. |
| 9–12 | LOW | Limited operational disturbance. |
| 13–16 | MODERATE | Noticeable disruption requiring intervention. |
| 17–20 | HIGH | Significant dependency and network effects. |
| 21–23 | VERY HIGH | Strong cascading or systemic effects. |
| 24–25 | CRITICAL / EXTREME | Central-node or system-level impact. |
4. NODE-BASED INTERPRETATION
IMPACT
↓
SEVERITY + POSITION + DEPENDENCY

CONNECTIVITY

CONSEQUENCE
↓
TOTAL IMPACT
A relatively small disturbance can produce a disproportionately
large IMPACT when it occurs at a strategically important node
with high DEPENDENCY and high CONNECTIVITY.
5. EXAMPLE OF DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT
EXAMPLE A — ISOLATED NODE:
A minor technical fault occurs in an isolated, non-essential component.
A minor technical fault occurs in an isolated, non-essential component.
SEVERITY = 1
POSITION = 1
DEPENDENCY = 1
CONNECTIVITY = 1
CONSEQUENCE = 1
IMPACT = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5
Result:
Very Low / Minimal Impact.
POSITION = 1
DEPENDENCY = 1
CONNECTIVITY = 1
CONSEQUENCE = 1
IMPACT = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5
EXAMPLE B — CENTRAL NODE:
A minor technical fault occurs at a central gateway upon which numerous critical processes depend.
A minor technical fault occurs at a central gateway upon which numerous critical processes depend.
SEVERITY = 2
POSITION = 5
DEPENDENCY = 5
CONNECTIVITY = 5
CONSEQUENCE = 5
IMPACT = 2 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 22
Result:
Very High Impact.
POSITION = 5
DEPENDENCY = 5
CONNECTIVITY = 5
CONSEQUENCE = 5
IMPACT = 2 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 22

Methodological Note:
This framework should be understood as an ordinal scoring model, rather than a scientifically validated physical equation. The numeric score provides a structured method for comparing impact conditions. A score of 20 should therefore not automatically be interpreted as literally twice the real-world impact of a score of 10.
