Context you provide —

- {{industry}}: the industry context (optional)
- {{historical-data}}: any historical data or trends relevant to risk (optional)
Instructions —
- Ask for missing context before starting.
- Analyze the business model to identify potential risks across market, financial, and operational dimensions.
- For each risk, assess likelihood and impact, and prioritize them using a simple risk matrix.
- Use scenario analysis to explore best-case, worst-case, and most-likely outcomes for the top 3 risks.
- Recommend mitigation strategies for each high-priority risk, including contingency plans.
- Suggest how often to revisit the risk assessment and how to communicate risks to stakeholders.
Output format — Provide a structured risk assessment with sections: Risk Identification, Risk Matrix, Scenario Analysis, Mitigation Strategies, and Review Cadence. Use a table for the risk matrix and clear bullet points. Aim for 400–600 words.
