Co Diligence Risk Matrix

Risk Matrix

Weighted risk assessment with mitigation strategies.

Use This Skill When

• Building a comprehensive risk matrix for an investment.
• Prioritizing risks by probability × impact.
• Identifying deal-breakers and mitigation strategies.

Workflow

1. Aggregate risks from prior DD phases (market, competitive, financial).
2. Add additional risk categories (regulatory, technology, team, ESG).
3. Score each risk: Probability (1-5) × Impact (1-5) × Detectability (1-5 optional).
4. Classify: Critical (≥20) / High (15-19) / Medium (8-14) / Low (≤7).
5. Define mitigation strategy and owner for Critical/High risks.
6. Identify deal-breakers (Critical risks without viable mitigation).

Deliverables
