Formula Used

Base Weighted Score
Base Score = Σ[(Factor Score ÷ 10) × Factor Weight]
Adjusted Prompt Safety Risk Score
Final Score = min[100, Base Score × Sensitivity Multiplier × Tool Access Multiplier × Guardrail Multiplier]

Each factor is rated from 0 to 10. The weights total 100 points, so the base score is already normalized to a 100-point scale.

Multipliers then adjust risk for production sensitivity, external action capability, and control maturity. Strong guardrails reduce exposure, while broad tool access and critical deployments increase it.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter an assessment name, reviewer, and the target model or workflow.
  2. Choose the deployment sensitivity, tool access level, and guardrail strength.
  3. Rate each safety factor from 0 to 10 based on the prompt being reviewed.
  4. Add the prompt excerpt and any notes that explain assumptions or concerns.
  5. Press Calculate Risk Score to show results below the header.
  6. Review the score, risk band, priority drivers, and recommended deployment decision.
  7. Use the CSV or PDF buttons to export the full assessment summary.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does this score measure?

This score estimates how risky a prompt appears before deployment. It combines threat indicators, environment sensitivity, tool reach, and control strength into one normalized value.

2. What scale should I use for each factor?

Use 0 for no visible risk signal and 10 for a very strong signal. Intermediate values work well when evidence is partial or uncertain.

3. Why do the weights differ between factors?

Some indicators create broader downstream harm than others. Jailbreak strength, intent clarity, and tool abuse often matter more than stylistic deception alone.

4. Why can a moderate base score become high?

Multipliers reflect context. A prompt becomes riskier when used in critical workflows, attached to powerful tools, or protected by weak controls.

5. Does a low score guarantee safety?

No. It supports review, not certainty. Novel attacks, hidden context, or weak monitoring can still create problems even when the score looks low.

6. When should I block deployment?

Blocking is sensible when the score is critical, when high-risk factors cluster together, or when mitigation steps are still missing or untested.

7. Can this be used for red-team exercises?

Yes. It helps compare attack prompts consistently, identify dominant failure drivers, and document which controls reduced exposure after retesting.

8. Should I score prompts individually or in batches?

Start with individual scoring for sensitive prompts. Later, compare batches by exporting results and looking for recurring patterns across teams or use cases.

Interpretation Guide

Score Range Band Typical Response
0.00 - 19.99 Minimal Keep standard monitoring and maintain prompt documentation.
20.00 - 39.99 Guarded Improve wording, constrain outputs, and verify monitoring coverage.
40.00 - 59.99 Elevated Require human review and revise risky instructions before rollout.
60.00 - 79.99 High Escalate to security and policy reviewers, then add controls.
80.00 - 100.00 Critical Block deployment until risks are reduced and retested.
