Explanation

The risk impact is the measure of the potential negative consequences of a risk item on the project objectives. It depends on the severity of the defect, the frequency of occurrence, and the visibility to the stakeholders. Since requirement R1 is business critical, any failure in meeting this requirement would have a significant impact on the customer satisfaction, the reputation of the organization, and the legal compliance. Therefore, the risk impact for requirement R1 should be categorized as high or very high, regardless of the likelihood of occurrence.
