GCRI · How Nexus works

Publish

Publishing is where an analysis becomes citable: an edited text, its evidence labels, its uncertainty, its version and the route for anyone to challenge it.

and 12 more

F01 to F14 are the recorded handoffs of the programme year, each with the artefact that moves and its phase; R1, R2, R3 and R4 carry work around the ring. A loop counts when every pillar on it is selected. Every pillar is led by the Nexus Consortium.
  1. LabsWhere questions become experiments and prototypes: new methods, data and tools are tried in the open, with their limits on record, before the Foundry builds them, under the Nexus Consortium.Labs at GCRI: Labs
  2. FoundryWhere methods, data and models become reproducible builds, each run with its inputs, version and limits on record.Foundry at GCRI: Foundry
  3. UniverseWhere a build is tested under controlled conditions with independent evaluators, so a method’s skill is measured, not assumed.Universe at GCRI: Universe technical officeuniverse.nexus
  4. Nexus StandardsWhere methods, identifiers and data schemas are codified in the open and corrected when a test finds a fault.Nexus Standards
  5. ReportsWhere findings are published with their method, uncertainty and evidence class, and corrected as new versions.Reports at GCRI: PublishReports
  6. Risk AcademyWhere methods and systems are taught on real data and real places, by working the case, on Risk Academy.Risk Academy
02Editorial path

What happens between a result and a report.

  • A named editor checks that each claim carries its evidence label and that the uncertainty language is consistent across the text.
  • Review by people who did not do the work, chosen for the methods the finding depends on.
  • Figures and maps are checked against the build that produced them; an illustration is captioned as one.
  • Limits are written into the body, not a footnote: what the analysis cannot say, and where it would be wrong to apply it.

The series and their methods are on Reports; the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) edits the series and answers for what they publish.

04After publication

Versions, corrections and retractions.

A correction is a new version with its history, linked from the old one. Errors that change a conclusion are flagged at the top of the text. Concerns go to corrections, and the integrity rules are on editorial integrity. No funder, member or contributor can buy or block a finding.

05Process

How the process runs.

Process

Publish: Risk management process

ISO 31000:2018 sets out an iterative risk management process, from scope, context and criteria through assessment and treatment to monitoring, review and reporting.

  1. 01 Frame

    1. 01Scope, context and criteriaDataset · National DeskThe frame for the process: the scope, the external and internal context, and the risk criteria. Later steps are read against this frame.

  2. 02 Risk assessment

    1. 04Risk identificationStep · National DeskThe first part of risk assessment. Risk is usually expressed by risk sources, potential events, their consequences and likelihood.
    2. 05Risk analysisModel · National DeskThe second part of risk assessment. It considers consequences and likelihood of the identified risks, with guidelines, not a formula.
    3. 06Risk evaluationStep · National DeskThe last part of risk assessment. Results of the analysis are compared with the risk criteria to see where more action is needed.

  3. 03 Treatment

    1. 07Risk treatmentStep · National DeskTreatment options are selected, then plans are prepared and implemented. Residual risk is documented and goes to monitoring and review.

  4. 04 Across the process

    1. 02Communication and consultationStep · National DeskCommunication and consultation with stakeholders is its own process element. The standard draws it alongside the others, not in sequence.
    2. 03Monitoring and reviewStep · National DeskMonitoring and review take place at every stage. New experience, knowledge and analysis can revise elements, actions and controls.

  5. 05 Record and report

    1. 08Recording and reportingRecord · National DeskThe process and its outcomes are documented and reported. The standard does not name who receives the report in the clauses read.

Outline of an external standard or method, from its public sources. It describes what the framework says, not a record of any run. It does not show that Nexus or any partner performs, certifies or approves a step. A gate is a step of the method, never a Nexus approval.
