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:
- Identifies risks across categories (operational, financial, technical, regulatory, reputational, strategic)
- Scores each risk using Likelihood × Impact matrix (1-5 scale, 25-point max)
- Classifies into Critical (20-25), High (15-19), Medium (8-14), Low (1-7)
- Generates mitigation strategies with owners, deadlines, and cost estimates
- 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 | Category | L | I | Score | Priority | Mitigation | Owner | Deadline | Cost |
|---|
| --- | ------ | ---------- | --- | --- | ------- | ---------- | ------------ | ------- | ---------- | ------ |
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):
- Rare (<5%) — Hasn't happened, unlikely to
- Unlikely (5-20%) — Could happen but no history
- Possible (20-50%) — Has happened elsewhere
- Likely (50-80%) — Has happened before or conditions exist
- Almost Certain (>80%) — Expected to happen
Impact (I):
- Negligible — <$10K loss, no disruption
- Minor — $10K-$50K, minor delays
- Moderate — $50K-$250K, partial service disruption
- Major — $250K-$1M, significant operational impact
- Severe — >$1M, existential threat or regulatory action
