FOUR RISKS ASSESSMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What are you assessing?
1. Specific issue/feature
→ Provide issue ID or describe the feature
2. Current sprint issues
→ Assess all issues in current sprint
3. Quick risk check
→ Fast assessment on something you're considering
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Evaluates a feature/project against the four critical risks:
/four-risks [issue-id]
Examples:
/four-risks ENG-245 - Assess specific issue/four-risks --current-sprint - Assess all current sprint issues/four-risks --add-comment - Add assessment as Linear comment🎯 Four Risks Assessment: [ENG-245] AI-powered email composer
📊 RISK SUMMARY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1️⃣ VALUE RISK: 🔴 HIGH
Will customers use/buy this?
⚠️ Concerns:
- No customer interviews validating demand
- Competitive AI email tools exist (Grammarly, Jasper)
- Unclear differentiation
✅ To de-risk:
- Run 10 customer interviews about email pain points
- Test prototype with 5 users
- Validate willingness to pay
2️⃣ USABILITY RISK: 🟡 MEDIUM
Can users figure it out?
⚠️ Concerns:
- AI output needs review UX
- Tone/voice customization complexity
✅ To de-risk:
- Create clickable prototype
- Run usability tests with 5 users
- Test with non-technical users
3️⃣ FEASIBILITY RISK: 🟢 LOW
Can we build it?
✅ Confidence:
- Team has AI integration experience
- OpenAI API well-documented
- Spike completed successfully
⚠️ Minor concerns:
- Inference costs at scale (needs modeling)
4️⃣ VIABILITY RISK: 🟡 MEDIUM
Does it work for our business?
⚠️ Concerns:
- Unit economics unclear (AI costs)
- Legal review needed for AI-generated content
- Competitive differentiation weak
✅ To de-risk:
- Model costs at 10K, 100K, 1M emails/month
- Legal review of AI content liability
- Define unique value prop
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT BUILD YET
Highest risk: VALUE (customers may not want/pay for this)
📋 Discovery Plan:
Week 1: Customer interviews (10 users)
Week 2: Build throwaway prototype
Week 3: Usability testing (5 users)
Week 4: Unit economics modeling
Only proceed if:
✓ 60%+ of interviews validate strong need
✓ Prototype test shows clear value
✓ Unit economics support freemium model
With Linear MCP: Automatically fetches Linear issue details and can add assessment as comment.
With GitHub MCP: Automatically fetches GitHub issue details and can add assessment as comment.
Manual mode: Describe the feature and the command will assess it:
Run a four risks assessment on this feature: [describe feature]

Framework: Marty Cagan (SVPG) Best for: Pre-build validation, discovery planning, reducing waste AI-era adaptation: Prototype to test risks in hours, not weeks
Plan the v1→v2→v3 agency progression for AI features. Walk through mapping how autonomy increases over time, define promotion criteria, and generate artifacts for stakeholder alignment. Based on CC/CD framework.
Expert system for designing and architecting AI agent workflows based on proven Meta methodologies. Use when users need to build AI agents, create agent workflows, solve problems using agentic systems, integrate multiple tools into agent architectures, or need guidance on agent design patterns. Helps translate business problems into structured agent solutions with clear scope, tool integration, and multi-layer architecture planning.
Calculate AI feature costs and challenge if you actually need it. Invokes ai-cost-analyzer agent for detailed economics modeling.
Diagnose why an AI feature is underperforming, hallucinating, or behaving inconsistently. Uses 4D audit to work backwards from symptoms to root cause.
Pre-launch health check that blocks you from shipping broken AI features. Grades 6 dimensions (model selection, data quality, cost, monitoring, failure UX, optimization).
Post-launch AI feature calibration workflow. Document error patterns, review eval performance, and decide on agency promotion. Based on CC/CD framework for continuous calibration of AI products.
