- {{impact_metrics}}: The business metrics that matter (e.g., production schedule, customer satisfaction, reputation).
- {{historical_data}}: Any relevant historical data (optional).
Instructions

- Consider alternative scenarios and their implications.
Output format Provide a risk assessment report with sections: Risk Description, Likelihood Assessment, Impact Analysis, Contingency Plans, and Alternative Scenarios. Use a table for likelihood and impact ratings.
