# Enterprise Risk Register Skill
## When to Use
- During enterprise pursuits with multiple high-stakes dependencies.
- Preparing executive updates or steering committee reviews.
- Handing off deals between pursuit phases or regions.
## Framework
1. **Risk Catalog** – categorize by workstream (value, product, legal, security, executive, finance).
2. **Scoring** – likelihood x impact, color-coded with thresholds for escalation.
3. **Mitigation Plan** – define owner, action, due date, and supporting resources.
4. **Watchlist & Escalation** – highlight items nearing deadlines or requiring CRO/exec attention.
5. **Retrospective** – update playbooks with resolved risks + guidance.
## Templates
- Risk register table (risk, category, score, owner, mitigation, status).
- Weekly summary slide for executive steering meetings.
- Escalation request form with context + proposed action.
## Tips
- Keep risk statements precise (impact + trigger) to aid decision-making.
- Default to weekly updates; high-risk deals may require twice-weekly cadences.
- Align scoring with `pursuit-governance` to maintain consistent reporting.

This skill helps teams track pursuit risks, assign owners, document mitigation steps, and define escalation triggers for enterprise deals. It provides a structured risk catalog, scoring model, mitigation planning, and watchlist features to keep executive stakeholders informed. The goal is to reduce surprises during high-stakes pursuits and create repeatable learning for future deals.
The skill lets you capture each risk with a clear statement, category, likelihood × impact score, owner, mitigation actions, due dates, and current status. It highlights items that cross predefined escalation thresholds and generates weekly summaries or escalation requests for CROs and executives. Retrospective outputs update playbooks with resolved risks and recommended process changes.
How is scoring applied?
Scoring multiplies likelihood by impact and maps to color-coded thresholds; thresholds can be aligned with your pursuit-governance.
When should risks be escalated?
Escalate when scores exceed predefined thresholds or when deadlines/mitigations are at risk of missing their due date.
