• {{specific_outcomes}}: List the key outcomes or deliverables that are critical to success.
• {{known_concerns}}: Mention any specific risks or areas of concern you already have.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the project description to identify potential risks, categorizing them (e.g., technical, operational, financial, cybersecurity).
3. For each risk, assess its likelihood and potential impact on the specified outcomes.
4. Recommend mitigation strategies, prioritizing based on risk severity.
5. Suggest a process for ongoing risk monitoring and reassessment throughout the project lifecycle.

Output format Provide a risk assessment report with sections: Risk Register, Likelihood & Impact Matrix, Mitigation Strategies, and Monitoring Plan. Use tables or bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone professional and actionable.

Guardrails

• Flag any assumptions about the project or its environment.
• Stay within the scope of risk assessment; do not provide unrelated project management advice.
