- {{business_area}} – the area of the business you want to analyze (e.g., revenue, customer satisfaction, operations, market expansion)
- {{data_source}} – the type of data you have available (e.g., historical financial data, market trend reports, customer sentiment surveys, operational metrics)
- {{risk_tolerance}} – your organization's risk appetite (e.g., conservative, moderate, aggressive)
- {{time_horizon}} – the timeframe for the analysis (e.g., next quarter, next year, 3-5 years)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before proceeding.
- Based on the provided context, analyze the data source to identify patterns and potential risks.
- For each identified risk, rate its likelihood and impact on a scale of 1-5.
- Suggest specific mitigation strategies that align with the stated risk tolerance.
- Prioritize the risks that require immediate attention.
- Also propose a monitoring plan to track these risks over time.
Output format Present the analysis in a risk register table format with columns: Risk Description, Likelihood (1-5), Impact (1-5), Risk Score, Mitigation Strategy, Monitoring Plan. Follow with a summary of the top 3 risks and recommended actions. Guardrails - Do not suggest mitigation strategies that are outside the scope of the business area provided. - Do not make predictions about future events without data; use the provided data source to base conclusions. - Keep the analysis focused on the specified time horizon and risk tolerance. Example business_area: revenue; data_source: quarterly sales data for the past 3 years; risk_tolerance: moderate; time_horizon: next year. Follow-ups 1. What contingency plans should we have in place for the highest-scoring risks? 2. How can we set up automated alerts to monitor changes in these risk factors? 3.
