In particular, the Custom Matrix - Compare component has been built into the Impact to facilitate the assessment of residual risks. This component makes it possible to utilize a Custom Matrix as basic data. Thus, the Matrix - Compare component that you want to edit copies an already created matrix and does not need to be rebuilt. Likewise, any future modifications to the matrix will only need to be done on one matrix, which will facilitate the administrative work. Customizable Matrix -  Compare component also acts as a link between the matrices in Analytics, allowing you to easily compare, for example, the original risk level to the residual risk level.
Note that the Custom Matrix - Compare component can only be added to the tool template when there is at least one Customizable Matrix - initial component in the bottom.
