riskikohtaisesti

Riskikohtaisesti is a Finnish adverb used in risk assessment and planning to indicate that something is done or reported with attention to individual risk factors or categories. It translates roughly as “risk-wise” or “by risk category.”

Etymology and usage: The term combines riski (risk) with the connective element kohta (point, item, or category) and the adverbial suffix -isesti. It is commonly found in professional Finnish across fields such as safety science, epidemiology, and financial risk management. The word signals a granular approach, meaning that analyses or reports are broken down by distinct risk areas rather than presented only in aggregate.

Contexts and examples: In practice, riskikohtaisesti phrasing is used to describe how information is organized. For example, “Raportissa riskit on riskikohtaisesti jaettu operatiivisiin, taloudellisiin ja turvallisuusriskeihin” means that risks are divided into operational, financial, and safety-related categories. Another example: “Riskien hallintasuunnitelma laaditaan riskikohtaisesti: toimenpiteet kohdennetaan kuhunkin riskitekijään.” Such usage emphasizes specificity and targeted interventions.

Relation to related concepts: The term is related to riskiperusteinen (risk-based) approaches, but riskikohtaisesti emphasizes breakdown by concrete risk categories rather than a single overarching risk framework. It is typically used when a detailed, category-specific view improves understanding or decision-making.

Limitations and notes: A riskikohtainen erittely requires clear definitions of risk categories to avoid ambiguity and to maintain comparability across analyses. As a linguistic device, its appropriateness depends on the context and stakeholder familiarity with risk categorization.
