Risk register generation
Draft a structured risk register from a plan, event, or new service — likelihood, impact, mitigation, owner.
How it works
## Why it works\nStructured columns + forced justification turns a woolly list into something a leadership team can actually challenge.\n\n## Structure\n1.
