Risk Assessment Framework

Comprehensive risk assessment for business operations, projects, and strategic decisions. Identifies, scores, and prioritizes risks with mitigation plans.

What It Does

When triggered, the agent:

1. Identifies risks across categories (operational, financial, technical, regulatory, reputational, strategic)
2. Scores each risk using Likelihood × Impact matrix (1-5 scale, 25-point max)
3. Classifies into Critical (20-25), High (15-19), Medium (8-14), Low (1-7)
4. Generates mitigation strategies with owners, deadlines, and cost estimates
5. Produces a risk register ready for board reporting or investor updates

Usage

Tell your agent: "Run a risk assessment on [project/business/decision]"

Input

Provide context about what you're assessing:

• Business or project description
• Known concerns or past incidents
• Industry and regulatory environment
• Timeline and budget constraints

Output Format

Risk Register:

Risk Heat Map:

• 🔴 Critical (20-25): Immediate action required
• 🟠 High (15-19): Mitigation plan within 7 days
• 🟡 Medium (8-14): Monitor and review monthly
• 🟢 Low (1-7): Accept or monitor quarterly

Residual Risk: After mitigation, re-score to show risk reduction.

Scoring Guide

Likelihood (L):

1. Rare (<5%) — Hasn't happened, unlikely to
2. Unlikely (5-20%) — Could happen but no history
3. Possible (20-50%) — Has happened elsewhere
4. Likely (50-80%) — Has happened before or conditions exist
5. Almost Certain (>80%) — Expected to happen

Impact (I):

1. Negligible — <$10K loss, no disruption
2. Minor — $10K-$50K, minor delays
3. Moderate — $50K-$250K, partial service disruption
4. Major — $250K-$1M, significant operational impact
5. Severe — >$1M, existential threat or regulatory action
