D. Do the likelihood and consequences of asset failure (i.e. the “overall risk”) drive asset investment decisions?
(Click on the answer that most accurately describes your situation.)

0	The organization does not use risk to drive investment decisions. ( 0 points)
1	The organization is in the discussion stages regarding whether to use overall risk to drive asset investment decisions but has not yet started any activities in this area.(1 point)

5	The organization has a plan for how overall risk drives asset O&M decisions and it is implemented. All decisions are based on this approach. ( 5 points)
