Yes I think you are right. My logfile is unavailable for some reason 
("postgres cannot access the server configuration file...") but I inspected 
my terminal after attempting a risk insert and this output looks exactly 
like what you are suggesting:

So yeah - "Unpermitted parameters: impact, likelihood". Looks relevant. I 
have done some research into it, and it seems like one could serialise 
their inputs in the model using:

serialize :impact, Array

serialize :likelihood, Array

and I could change the array type in the schema to string. However, I would 
really rather keep the array as integers as it's going to make operations 
like averaging much easier without casting etc. Does anyone know of a way I 
can get these params accepted as integers? The problem might lie in simple 
form after all.

(Thanks for your help so far Frederick!)
