Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Tailor the communication to the specified audience, adjusting tone, technical detail, and emphasis accordingly.
- Structure the content to clearly explain each risk, its potential impact, and the recommended mitigation actions.
- For presentations, outline slide-by-slide content with suggested visuals (charts, diagrams) that enhance understanding.
- Ensure the message is concise, actionable, and free of jargon that might confuse the audience.
Output format
