I know this is to do with Risk Analysis/Risk Management, but am wondering if there is a standard translation for 'contre-valorisation' in this context?

Sounds feasible and has agreement.... I think this was what I went with in the end and nothing came back, so I am sure it must have had that meaning. Thanks to both contributors.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Funnily enough, before posting the question I googled this very term to see what would come up - and after so doing, still had my doubts about it in this context. Interesting that two people are now suggesting the same thing - although I am still struggling to find much reference to the term in relation to Risk Management matters - although I don't doubt rkillings's wisdom.... hmmmm!


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  rkillings: The term has other meanings in mathematics and logic, but it has been appropriated in risk management (as part of 'mark to model' valuation). The hyphen is optional and often omitted.
