My first impression is that this is a mental evaluation or assessment of the risks (def. #2).
But depending on the context it's put into, it's possible that actuarial type mathematics could be involved (def. #1)

Fizi,
I'm inclined to agree with you. Without any further information about it, I would guess that the more generalized definition given in #2 would be the right one. However, I was hoping for an example sentence so that we could all be sure (just in case).

Enjoy your New Year!
