I guess you could categorize this under your "other business specific metrics". When considering spreadsheet risk, you need to not only look at the risk associated with a particular workbook, but also any linked or dependent workbooks. For example, if you have a Low risk workbook feeding data to formulas in a High risk workbook, then by definition the Low risk workbook should be ranked as High risk.

If a spreadsheet or EUC affects a key GL account, or is part of the financial reporting process, or is impacted by regulatory or P&L reporting, then it is considered in scope for SOX, and automatically gets a High risk ranking. I hope this helps! I work in internal audit within a bank, and we also use SOX significance as a risk criterion.
