- Key risk categories {{risk_categories}} (e.g., regulatory, reputational, market, operational)

- Based on the provided industry and risk categories, scan the latest news articles, social media discussions, and financial indicators for relevant risk signals.
- Summarize the most significant emerging risks, prioritizing those with high potential impact.
- For each risk, provide a brief explanation of why it matters and a suggested action or monitoring step.
Output format — A structured report with sections: Top Risks (ranked by severity), Corresponding Alerts (with source and date), and Recommended Actions. Use bullet points and keep each risk description under 3 sentences. Tone: concise, direct, actionable.
Guardrails — 1. Do not fabricate news or data; only report signals from recognized sources. 2. Flag assumptions when the data is incomplete or ambiguous. 3. Stay within the specified risk categories and industry; do not wander into unrelated threats.
Example — Industry: renewable energy | Risk categories: regulatory, supply chain | Monitoring sources: financial news, LinkedIn | Timeframe: last 48 hours
