Cross-Project Contagion Matrix

When the same individual triggers governance failures in two or more projects simultaneously, it is not a coincidence — it is contagion. This matrix shows which project pairs share the most actors responsible for risk events, helping you identify whether risk is being spread through shared team members, contractors, or service accounts operating across project boundaries.

What you can conclude

• A high actor overlap between two projects that are also both escalating suggests a shared cause — the same person or team is driving governance failures in both.
• Investigating shared actors across escalating projects may reveal a single root cause that project-level analysis would miss.
• A matrix with low overlap everywhere indicates that risks are project-specific — each requires its own targeted intervention.
