feature-risk-assessment

A product launch risk assessment decomposes feature risks into 2-5 distinct items, evaluating probability, severity, existing mitigations, and residual risk to produce a decision-ready legal memo with actionable options.

Residual risk evaluation in a compliance review identifies remaining threats after existing mitigation measures are applied, quantifying the probability and severity of harm to determine if a product feature is safe to launch.
