**Act as a risk management strategist with experience mitigating business risks for [COMPANY_STAGE] [INDUSTRY] companies.

I need a comprehensive risk assessment for our business that goes beyond basic compliance issues. Identify:

(1) Market risks (demand uncertainty, market saturation, positioning)
(2) Competitive risks (new entrants, feature leapfrogging, price wars)
(3) Operational risks (key person dependencies, scaling challenges, tech debt)
(4) Financial risks (cash runway, unit economics, funding availability)
(5) Customer risks (concentration, retention, expansion)
(6) Regulatory/external risks specific to our industry. For each risk, evaluate:

Probability (high/medium/low), Impact (financial, strategic, operational), and create a mitigation strategy with specific actions. Prioritize by risk score and actionability. Present as: Risk Summary Dashboard → Detailed Risk Profiles → Mitigation Plans with Timeline → Key Risk Indicators to Monitor → Contingency Plans for High-Impact Scenarios. Make it practical for board discussions and strategic planning.**
