fearless -- "impavidus" or "intrepidus"
no fear -- "nullus metus" or "nullus timor"

george,

thanks for the attempt. I will try to explain. The organization is one that does risk management. So we look at the probabilites for certain events to occur, and then make decisions on whether certain controls should be implemented for safety reasons or whether the probability for a particular risk is so low that it can just be accepted without much consequence. So I suppose when using the term "risk-informed decisions," the meaning behind that is making decisions based on the quantification of the risk associated with a device. Hopefully, this helps you a little. And I do appreciate any help you might offer. Thanks!

Nunquam Dic Morire

You're right about "Goonies".

OK, I think I understand.
I played around with it a bit and came up with this:
Decreta de discrimine docta
Decreta -- decisions
de discrimine -- of or about risks
docta -- informed or taught

That's an Italian phrase meaning "seek and you will find"
(literally "search finds").

Thanks so much! You've been a really big help! A couple of questions for you though, because I looked around many sources and "decreta" as the latin word for decision never came up in any of my searches. I found "decesio" (which is close), "iudicium", "sententia", "consultum", "arbitratus", and "adprobatio." Each having a slightly different variation to the meaning of decision. Also for risk, I found "alea" and "periculum." (For informed, I got the same as you - yea me!).

So, I was thinking you might come back with some form of "consultum alea doctus" (I know my declension is way off in this case, but I think you get my drift). And I guess what I'm wondering is maybe where I went wrong? And why could I not find "decreta" or "de discrimine" in my searches? Because I did use several different sources.

Thanks again! You've helped out tremendously!

I used Cassell's Latin Dictionary.

For "decision", it listed arbitrium, decretum, sententia, diiudicatio.
Decreta is, of course, the plural of decretum, which is
derived from the verb decerno. I chose that word because I liked
the alliteration.

For "risk", it listed periculum, discrimen, alea. De discimine is the
preposition de and, as its object, the ablative of discrimen.

Docta is the neuter plural of doctus. A prepositional phrase with the
preposition de is the usual way of indicating the thing about which one
is informed.

Having said that, consulta de alea docta would work as well.

Very, very cool! I'm kind of glad that I wasn't THAT far off with my own translation (I haven't studied latin in about 13 years, so I am a bit rusty). But I really do like the alliteration that you chose to go with as well. Again, thanks so much for the help! Greatly appreciated!

Oh, and just as a curiosity, does it really matter which word for "decision" you might choose? I was looking at the different latin words as having more or less authority within the context of the word. But I guess it doesn't really matter, since there was probably no one in the Roman world that actually spoke Latin and uttered the phrase "risk-informed decisions!" as a battle cry or decree of the senate.

Anyway, thanks!

I'm not sure that it makes much of a difference. I generally do what you
have done: look up the English word, then look up each of the Latin words
given and try to gauge which one is the best in context.

I'm trying to imagine Julius Caesar explaining to his staff why crossing
the Rubicon would be a risk-informed decision. Can't quite picture it.

What? You don't think that would have been better than saying "alea iacta est"?

HA!
