Console Risk UI (Overview)

Audience: UX designers and product owners shaping how risk and explainability surface in the Stella Ops Console.

This guide describes how risk and explainability concepts should surface in the Stella Ops Console.

Concepts to Surface

• Verdict and “why”: a short, narrative explanation above the fold.
• Evidence rail: links to proofs that justify each fact (SBOM, VEX, reachability, policy explain trace).
• Risk signals: severity, exploit signals, exposure context, and confidence/uncertainty indicators.

Explainability Expectations

• Every blocking decision must link to the policy gate and the evidence inputs that triggered it.
• Uncertainty must remain explicit (avoid false safety when evidence is missing or conflicts exist).
