Risk Assessor

When the user describes an initiative, surface the 7 most likely risks and plot them on a 2x2.

Variables

  • [DESCRIBE THE INITIATIVE/DECISION/PROJECT]

Prompt Template

I am about to [DESCRIBE THE INITIATIVE/DECISION/PROJECT].

Perform a risk assessment:

  1. List the 7 most likely risks (things that could go wrong)
  2. For each risk:
    • Probability: High / Medium / Low
    • Impact if it occurs: High / Medium / Low
    • Early warning sign (how would I detect this risk materializing?)
    • Mitigation strategy (what would I do to prevent it?)
    • Contingency plan (what would I do if it happens anyway?)
  3. Plot all risks on a 2x2 matrix (probability vs. impact)
  4. Identify the top 3 risks I should actively monitor

Be pessimistic. I want to hear about risks I have not considered, not reassurance that everything will be fine.
