For each: - **Root cause** — Why does this risk exist? - **Mitigation strategy** — What specific action reduces probability OR impact? - **Residual risk** — After mitigation, what risk remains? - **Early warning indicator** — What is the first signal that this risk is materializing? How often should it be monitored? **3.
