• {{processOrArea}}: The specific process, product launch, or facility to assess (e.g., manufacturing process, new product launch, new facility).
• {{riskCategories}}: Any specific risk categories to focus on (e.g., equipment failure, human error, supply chain disruptions, customer complaints).
• {{currentControls}}: Any existing risk controls or mitigation measures already in place.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if not provided.
2. Identify potential risks relevant to the given context, covering technical, operational, and compliance aspects.
3. For each risk, assess likelihood and impact on a simple scale (e.g., low/medium/high) and calculate a risk priority.
4. Propose specific, actionable mitigation strategies for each high-priority risk.
5. Suggest monitoring and review mechanisms to ensure risks are managed over time.

Output format Provide a structured risk assessment in Markdown, using a table or list format. For each risk, include description, likelihood, impact, priority, mitigation strategy, and responsible role. Conclude with a summary of top priorities.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific data or probabilities; use qualitative assessments and clearly state assumptions.
• Stay within the scope of the provided context; do not add unrelated risks.
• If the user mentions specific standards, ask for details rather than assuming.

Example

• {{processOrArea}}: New product launch
• {{riskCategories}}: Manufacturing defects, supply chain disruptions
• {{currentControls}}: Supplier audits, prototype testing
