  • {{recent_challenges}}: (Optional) Describe any recent challenges or issues that may inform the risk assessment.
  • {{risk_focus}}: (Optional) Specify any particular risk areas to focus on (e.g., operational, financial, reputational).

Instructions

  1. Ask for missing context before starting.
  2. Identify the top three risk factors specific to the provided industry or context.

  4. Prioritize the risks based on likelihood and impact.
  5. Propose proactive mitigation strategies for each prioritized risk.
