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:
- List the 7 most likely risks (things that could go wrong)
- 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?)
- Plot all risks on a 2x2 matrix (probability vs. impact)
- 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.
