SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders often carry scattered, unquantified worries about what could go wrong in their business. This Skill turns those concerns into a disciplined, scored risk register so the business knows which threats matter most, who owns each one, and which early-warning number to watch before a risk lands. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scored Risk Register: Estimates likelihood (1-5) and impact (1-5) for each threat, computes a Risk Score (1-25), and assigns priority bands from low to critical. - 2x2 Risk Classification: Plots each threat on a Probability x Impact matrix to set the handling strategy, distinguishing manageable risks from unforecastable uncertainties and potential blindsides. - Warning-Signal Metrics: Wires a leading indicator with a threshold (e.g., cash runway under 6 months, largest customer share over 25%) to the business dashboard for every high or critical risk. - Use Case: A scaling services firm lands a client that is 45% of revenue while hiring across a second state. The Skill scores customer concentration as critical, flags the key-person dependency, routes the multi-state employment gap to counsel, and sets a monthly review cadence. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a risk diagnostic on your business and rank your top risks with owners and warning metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions about risk-diagnostic

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a risk register for a small business?▼

Run a risk diagnostic that surfaces candidate risks from a starter checklist and business data, then scores each on likelihood (1-5) times impact (1-5). The top 4-5 risks get mitigation steps, an accountable owner, a deadline, and a warning-signal metric.

How is a risk score calculated from likelihood and impact?▼

Risk Score equals likelihood (1-5) multiplied by impact (1-5), giving a range of 1-25. Scores of 1-4 are low, 5-9 moderate, 10-14 high requiring a contingency plan and owner, and 15-25 critical requiring founder escalation.

What is the difference between a risk and an uncertainty?▼

A risk lives in the known world and can be managed with data and forecasts, while an uncertainty lives in the unknown world with many variables and little data. Uncertainties are flagged so they are not presented as tidy managed risks and are handled with optionality and contingency.

When should I use crisis response planning instead of a risk diagnostic?▼

Use crisis response planning when a risk is already materializing right now, such as a fire, outage, lawsuit, or lost key customer. The risk diagnostic is for scoring and tracking threats before they land, and it hands off low-probability high-impact blindsides to crisis planning.

What counts as a concentration risk trigger?▼

A concentration risk is automatically logged when any single customer exceeds roughly 20-25% of revenue, a single supplier is the sole source of a critical input, or one person solely holds a critical capability. These are flagged regardless of the computed score and routed to business continuity planning.

Can the risk diagnostic execute mitigations like buying insurance?▼

No. The skill only auto-prepares reversible, low-risk items such as drafting the register, wiring dashboard metrics, and creating tasks. Spending money, signing contracts, or any legal action is held for founder approval or routed to the relevant professional.
