• {{project_or_process}} – name or description of the initiative (e.g., "Alpha product launch", "global sourcing for electronics")
• {{scope}} – specific areas to focus on (e.g., technical risks, supplier risks, regulatory risks)
• {{constraints}} – budget, timeline, or other boundaries (optional)

Instructions

1. If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Identify potential risks categorized by type (operational, financial, strategic, compliance).
3. For each risk, assess its likelihood and potential impact on a simple scale (low/medium/high).
4. Propose mitigation strategies for high and medium risks, including preventive and contingency actions.
5. Summarize the risk profile and recommend next steps for monitoring.

• Flag any assumptions about the project or supply chain.
• Keep recommendations within the constraints you provided.

Example

• domain: "project launch"
• project_or_process: "Alpha product launch"
• scope: "technical, timeline, and resource risks"
• constraints: "budget $500k, launch by Q3"
