Community risk · litl app
Turn evidence into a shared picture of risk.
A practical, browser-based workspace for exploring community risk and connecting what you know to the plans you make.
About the app
Planning that stays connected to the evidence.
Community risk planning can become fragmented across spreadsheets, reports and separate conversations. This app creates one place to structure the evidence, compare risks and make the reasoning behind priorities easier to see.
It is designed as a thinking tool rather than an answer machine. Use it to support professional judgement, challenge assumptions and build a clearer line of sight from community context to action.
The golden thread
One connected framework, from strategic vision to everyday delivery.
The app brings strategy, departmental planning and performance monitoring into one place. Each layer shows what it contributes, how success is measured and what needs to change.

Evidence to action
See the gaps. Give them an owner. Close the loop.
The risk and assurance framework collects evidence, defines organisational requirements and reviews how effectively they are being addressed. Where the evidence reveals a gap, the app connects it to the relevant strategic objective and assigns departmental ownership.
Departments can then plan the core work or improvement project needed to address it. This creates a visible line from the original evidence and community need, through the strategic priority, to an accountable owner and a measurable response—making gaps easier to identify, plan and rectify.
Consultation content
Present the organisation’s Strategic Community Risk Management Plan clearly for public and stakeholder consultation.
Department plans
Provide the delivery detail: owned activities, improvement projects, actions, dependencies and timescales.
Performance dashboards
Define the scope of strategic and operational KPI reporting so progress, delivery and improvement can be monitored together.
How to use
Start small, save locally, return when ready.
Open a workspace
Launch the app in your browser and begin with a focused area, risk or planning conversation.
Work through the evidence
Add what is known, record judgements and use the prompts to make gaps and assumptions visible.
Save and share
Save your work as a .litl file on your device. Reopen it later or share the file with a trusted colleague.
Case studies
How is it working in practice?
I would like to share real examples of how people use this tool: the problem they started with, how they adapted the framework and what changed as a result.
If you are trying it in your organisation and would be happy to contribute a future case study, please get in touch on LinkedIn ↗.
