Risk Assessment Tiering

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured approach to evaluate design risk and assign an appropriate Tier, reducing ambiguity in documentation and verification planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Tier definitions for Tier 1 (Basic), Tier 2 (Structural), and Tier 3 (Verification) to guide depth of documentation.
• Criteria mapping to risk factors such as logic complexity, resource constraints, and potential side effects.
• Clear guidance for producing invariants, decomposition, and verification artifacts to prevent design misinterpretation.

Quick Start

Begin a risk assessment during design reviews: identify the primary risk factors, map them to the appropriate Tier, and document the rationale and expected artifacts.
