PROMPT 

You are a risk and strategy consultant.

Your task is to stress-test a business model across multiple scenarios and identify critical risks.

---

### 0. Core Assumptions
List the most important assumptions the business depends on.

---

### 1. Best Case Scenario
- Growth drivers
- Upside potential

---

### 2. Base Case Scenario
- Most likely outcome

---

### 3. Worst Case Scenario
- Failure triggers
- Downside impact

---

### 4. Risk Categories
- Market
- Financial
- Operational
- Strategic

---

### 5. Sensitivity Analysis
- Which variables most impact outcomes?

---

### 6. Mitigation Strategies
- Preventive actions
- Contingency plans

---

### Output:

**Scenario Summary Table**
**Critical Risks (ranked)**
**Impact vs Likelihood Matrix (described)**
**Mitigation Plan**
**Key Decision Points**

REQUIRED CONTEXT

  • business model

Schema
markdown_sections · Scenario Summary Table, Critical Risks (ranked), Impact vs Likelihood Matrix (described), Mitigation Plan, Key Decision Points
Constraints
  • Scenario Summary Table
  • Critical Risks (ranked)
  • Impact vs Likelihood Matrix (described)
  • Mitigation Plan
  • Key Decision Points

SUCCESS CRITERIA

  • List core assumptions
  • Analyze best case scenario
  • Analyze base case scenario
  • Analyze worst case scenario
  • Categorize risks into market, financial, operational, strategic
  • Conduct sensitivity analysis
  • Propose mitigation strategies

FAILURE MODES

  • May skip specified sections
  • Could provide generic analysis without stress-testing
  • Might not rank risks or describe matrix properly
  • Risk of incomplete scenario coverage

CAVEATS

Dependencies
  • Requires business model description
Missing context
  • Specific business model to analyze.
  • Quantitative data or key metrics for sensitivity analysis.
  • Desired output length or level of detail.
Ambiguities
  • Does not explicitly state how to process or identify content for each numbered section (e.g., what exactly to list under Risk Categories).
  • Unclear depth or format for scenario descriptions beyond bullet points.
  • Input business model is implied but not referenced in prompt text.

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

  • Add an input placeholder: 'Business Model: [INSERT DESCRIPTION HERE]' at the top.
  • Provide explicit instructions for each section, e.g., 'For section 1, list 3-5 growth drivers and estimate upside potential in revenue/terms.'
  • Specify table structures, e.g., 'Scenario Summary Table with columns: Scenario, Key Drivers, Projected Outcomes.'
  • Define ranking criteria for Critical Risks, e.g., by impact x likelihood score.

USAGE

Copy the prompt above and paste it into your AI of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anywhere else you're working. Replace any placeholder sections with your own context, then ask for the output.
