2. Analyse each vendor's financial stability and list red flags such as liquidity issues, debt pressure, or unusual ownership changes.
3. Build a risk assessment framework with criteria for security protocols and business continuity.
4. Review contract clauses for risk exposure: liability caps, termination rights, data breach responsibilities, and mitigation obligations.
5. Suggest practical mitigation strategies and key performance indicators to monitor.

Output format — Provide a risk assessment report with a scorecard table (Vendor, Category, Risk level, Key finding, Recommendation), plus a short list of monitoring KPIs.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate financial or security details; assess only what is provided.
• Clearly mark assumptions where information is incomplete.
• Avoid legal conclusions; frame contract findings as risk observations.

Example — {{vendor_information}} = top 10 logistics vendors with annual reports, {{security_protocols}} = SOC 2 summaries and business continuity plans, {{contracts}} = master service agreements, {{risk_tolerance}} = moderate.
