• {{specific_events}}: Any particular threats or scenarios to consider (e.g., cyber attacks, natural disasters).
• {{compliance_requirements}}: Industry regulations or standards you must meet.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if not provided.

3. Identify gaps in coverage, scalability, and compliance.
