SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Event organizers sign venue contracts and pay deposits long before they know what could sink the event, and most discover gaps in insurance, cancellation terms, or emergency planning only after a loss. This Skill turns that exposure into a written, scored risk register with named owners, a coverage decision list, and decision dates tied to the contract's cancellation-fee schedule. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scored risk register: Works through a 15-row taxonomy drawn from documented event cancellations, scoring each risk on a 5x5 likelihood x impact matrix with escalation bands, owners, and review dates. - Insurance coverage ladder: Ranks coverage categories from venue-required liability through cancellation cover with the communicable-disease buy-back, parametric weather, and cyber, with explicit questions to put to a broker. - Go/no-go decision dates: Places internal decision checkpoints just before each cancellation-fee step-up, with pre-agreed thresholds and a polled call format. - On-site emergency plan: Produces a separate printable document with named scenarios, contacts, and overnight staffing rules. - Use Case: A company that just paid a 30% venue deposit for a 450-person conference uses this Skill to produce the register, coverage brief, and decision calendar its COO asked for before the next board update. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a risk register and insurance plan for your upcoming conference, including what could go wrong, what to insure, and when you must decide whether to cancel.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a risk register for a tech conference?

Work through a named risk taxonomy covering demand shortfall, sponsor withdrawal, venue loss, speaker dropout, weather, and organizer capability rather than brainstorming from scratch. Score each risk on a 5x5 likelihood-impact matrix, band it, and assign an owner, treatment, and review date per row.

What insurance does a community meetup actually need?

A small meetup in a sponsor's donated space with no committed spend typically needs nothing beyond confirming the host's existing liability cover, possibly via a venue-side TULIP policy. Cancellation insurance protects nothing when there is no non-recoverable spend to lose.

When should we set go/no-go decision dates for an event?

Place an internal decision date just before each step-up in the venue contract's cancellation-fee schedule, never after one. Write the go/no-go thresholds before the first date arrives so sunk cost cannot move the goalposts in the meeting.

Does event cancellation insurance cover a pandemic or disease outbreak?

Insurers excluded communicable disease market-wide from early 2020, and it is now available only as a specifically negotiated buy-back endorsement. Ask a broker explicitly whether a cancellation policy includes it and record the decision either way.

What goes in an on-site emergency plan for a hackathon?

Write a specific instruction per named scenario: fire and evacuation, power failure, medical emergency, theft, and general evacuation, plus a contacts section with reachable numbers. Print a physical copy for the venue and staff an awake-organizer rota for any overnight event.

Can this skill tell me whether my venue contract's force-majeure clause protects my deposit?

No. The skill explicitly declines to interpret clause wording or predict whether a policy pays, routing those questions to counsel and licensed brokers. It flags that clauses silent on refunds have denied deposit returns in court while explicit refund language has secured them.
