FAQPage Schema
How do I assess legal risk using a severity and likelihood matrix?▼

To assess legal risk, you submit a concise matter description and the skill generates a full risk memo following the severity-by-likelihood framework, including background, analysis, mitigations, and monitoring guidance.

What is the best way to triage legal issues for senior counsel escalation?▼

Issue triage applies a structured risk matrix with defined severity and likelihood scales to evaluate matters, providing clear escalation guidance for senior counsel or outside review based on the assessed risk level.

Can I use this severity-likelihood framework for contract risk reviews?▼

Yes, the severity-likelihood framework directly applies to contract risk reviews and deal exposure assessments, implementing a structured risk matrix to evaluate and classify legal risks consistently across matters.

How does the risk memo documentation process work for legal assessments?▼

Risk memo documentation requires mandatory frontmatter and generates reproducible, risk-register-ready outputs with structured sections: risk description, background, analysis, mitigations, and monitoring for each assessed matter.

When should I use a structured risk matrix for legal matter evaluation?▼

Use a structured risk matrix when evaluating legal matters that require consistent classification, escalation decisions, or senior counsel review, ensuring reproducible severity and likelihood scoring across contract risks and deal exposures.
