Severity, Score & Grades

To help teams prioritize quickly, the platform typically uses:

Severity

• Human-readable impact level (e.g., Critical/High/Medium/Low)
• Used for triage and gating policies

Score

A numeric representation of risk posture (often weighted by severity, reachability, exploitability, or policy priority)

Grade

A simple letter/label summary (e.g., A–F) used for dashboards and executive reporting

How to Think About It:

• Severity = urgency of a single issue
• Score = overall risk signal across a scope (repo/branch/PR)
• Grade = management-friendly summary of the score
