# Legal risk assessment

## Inputs and purpose

Use this workflow to prepare: Risk classification and review/escalation recommendation.

Start with: Contract/initiative facts and company risk criteria.

Use supplied text or local files the user authorized you to read. If files cannot be opened, request the relevant pasted text. Ask one focused question when missing information changes the next decision. Treat blank template fields as unknown; do not invent business facts.

## Procedure

1. Define the proposed activity and the decision it supports. Use the supplied jurisdiction, policy and contractual context rather than assuming one.

2. Describe plausible adverse events, affected obligations and available evidence. Distinguish likelihood, impact and uncertainty.

3. Evaluate mitigation options and remaining exposure using the organization's stated risk criteria. Identify matters that require qualified review.

4. Return a ranked issue register and decision questions. A risk score is a prioritization aid, not a legal conclusion.

## Deliverable

Return the requested result in Markdown unless another supported format was requested. Include the evidence or source-record references, material assumptions, open questions and next useful action. Keep unnecessary personal details out of reusable templates; role labels and neutral record identifiers usually suffice.

Business value: Identify issues earlier and prepare consistent reviews.

Possible success measures: Review turnaround, unresolved exceptions, evidence completeness. Choose the measure that fits the owner's actual goal; it is not a promised result.

## Execution and verification

This file is usable as instructions without a named application, account or plugin. Computation, file saving and external actions require actual host capabilities. Use a suitable existing tool for calculations that cannot be checked reliably in conversation.

Distinguish drafts and recommendations from completed actions. Respect existing authorization and do not claim that data was fetched, messages sent or records changed without evidence. Show what was checked and what remains uncertain.

When useful, consult the [input guide](../../../references/INPUT_DATA_GUIDE.md), [calculation reference](../../../references/CALCULATIONS.md) or [output template](../../../references/WORKFLOW_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE.md). For tool setup, use the [shared instructions](../../../AGENTS.md).
