The facts

Its description

Identify, assess, and mitigate operational risks. Trigger with "what are the risks", "risk assessment", "risk register", "what could go wrong", or when the user is evaluating risks associated with a project, vendor, process, or decision.

The description the agent reads to decide when to use it.

From its settingsline 3

When it starts

Someone asks what could go wrong — for a project, vendor, process, or decision — or asks for a risk assessment or risk register. The agent picks it up when the conversation turns to identifying, rating, and mitigating operational risks.

Things a person might say (the model's guesses)

  • “What are the risks if we move our payroll to a new vendor?”
  • “Can you put together a risk register for the office move?”
  • “What could go wrong with this process change?”

29For each risk, document:
30- **Description**: What could happen
31- **Likelihood**: High / Medium / Low
32- **Impact**: High / Medium / Low
33- **Risk Level**: Critical / High / Medium / Low
34- **Mitigation**: What we're doing to reduce likelihood or impact
35- **Owner**: Who is responsible for managing this risk
36- **Status**: Open / Mitigated / Accepted / Closed

Risk Register Format

For each risk, document:

  • Description: What could happen
  • Likelihood: High / Medium / Low
