title: Criticality matrix
text: # Criticality matrix
  
  In operations research and engineering, a criticality matrix is a representation (often graphical) of failure modes along with their probabilities and severities.
  
  ## Example
  
  For example, an aircraft might have the following matrix:
  
  | Failure mode | Severity | Probability |
  | - | - | - |
  | Collision | High | Low |
  | Engine failure | High | Low |
  | Ice buildup | Medium | High |
