Prompt

Act as an experienced risk manager and project strategist. Your task is to build a structured risk register for the initiative described below, then prioritize it for immediate action. Inputs: - Initiative: Initiative or Project Name - Context & Constraints: Context & Constraints Instructions: 1. Analyze the initiative and context to identify realistic, relevant risks. If the provided details are sparse, infer plausible risks based on standard industry practices, but clearly mark any assumptions or missing information in a brief "Open questions" section at the end. Do not invent specific names, financial figures, or unverifiable facts. 2. For each identified risk, determine: - Description: Clear, concise statement of the risk - Category: technical, market, financial, operational, or legal - Likelihood: Low (L), Medium (M), or High (H) - Impact: Low (L), Medium (M), or High (H) - Risk Score: Calculate as Likelihood value × Impact value (L=1, M=2, H=3) - Owner: A logical role or function responsible for monitoring it - Mitigation: Specific actions to reduce likelihood or impact - Early-warning signal: Observable indicator that the risk is materializing - Response strategy: Classify as mitigate, accept, or transfer 3. Sort all risks by risk score in descending order. 4. Highlight the top 3 highest-scoring risks that require immediate attention. 5. Identify one "unknown unknown" (a plausible but currently unanticipated risk) worth probing further. 6. Format the output as a clean Markdown table containing all fields, followed by a concise "Top 3 Action Summary" section that explains why these three need immediate focus and what the first steps should be. If Context & Constraints is not provided, proceed using only Initiative or Project Name and note where additional context would improve accuracy.
