1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Analyze the risks and opportunities associated with cross-industry innovation between {{industry_a}} and {{industry_b}}.
3. Identify at least three risks and three opportunities, considering market dynamics, regulatory environment, technological readiness, and operational feasibility.
4. For each risk, suggest a mitigation strategy. For each opportunity, suggest how to leverage it for strategic growth.
5. Provide a final assessment of the initiative's overall viability.

Output format Present a structured report with sections: Overview, Risks (with mitigations), Opportunities (with leverage strategies), and Viability Assessment. Use tables or bullet points for clarity. Keep the response to 500–700 words. Tone: analytical, concise, and forward-looking.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate statistics or case studies; rely on general knowledge and clearly state assumptions.
• Flag any assumptions about the industries or the initiative.
• Keep the analysis focused on the cross-industry innovation, not on unrelated business aspects.

Example

• {{industry_a}} = renewable energy, {{industry_b}} = automotive, {{initiative_scope}} = joint venture for electric vehicle charging infrastructure
