Likelihood

Can’t believe this would happen – will only happen in exceptional circumstances (5-10 years)

Not expected to happen but definite potential exists (2-5 years)

May occur occasionally, has happened before on occasions – reasonable chance of occurring (annually)

Strong possibility that this could occur – likely to occur (quarterly)

This is expected to occur frequently, in most circumstances – more likely to occur than not (daily/weekly/monthly)
