# IRL

### What is LIRL?

LIRL stands for Lineaje Inherent Risk Score. The inherent risk is represented as LIRL in a scale of 0-10

* ZIRL 0: Zero IRL. Zero risk with this component/project. This is the preferred IRL.
* LIRL : Low IRL. Risk score falls between 0.1 to 3.9. The component/project carries a lower risk
* MIRL: Medium IRL. Risk score falls between 4.0 to 6.9. The component/project carries a medium risk
* HIRL: High IRL. Risk score falls between 7.0 to 8.9. The component/project carries a high risk
* CIRL 4: Critical IRL. Risk score falls between 9.0 to 10.0. The component/project carries critical risk

### How is IRL calculated?

IRL is calculated based on 4 factors - age, vulnerability score, code quality score, security posture score. IRL is calculated as a weighted average.

&#x20;                                   **IRL of project = mean(components IRL in dependency tree)**
