# derisk-measurement-advisor

A skill that scans a product or AI idea across ten risk dimensions, then sorts what it finds into act-now and watch-later. Useful before committing a roadmap slot.

## What it does

Four internal dimensions come from DUFV: Desirability, Usability, Feasibility, Viability. The other six are PESTEL forces outside the organisation. Each risk the scan turns up gets a label, act on immediately or start tracking, and the output is a ranked risk register with next steps attached.

It runs as a conversation. Hand it the idea, its stage (concept, prototype, already in market) and whatever you have validated so far, and it uses that instead of asking again. Call it with nothing and it opens by asking you to describe the idea in a sentence or two.

The skill pushes back on labelling every single item urgent. If everything is act-now, nothing is prioritised, so it suggests a rough 40/60 split between acting and watching. What you get is a register to take to the team or leadership, not a finished experiment plan — designing the individual tests stays with you.

## When to use it
- split an idea's risks into internal and external before it hits the roadmap
- separate what needs a response now from what can be monitored
- produce a prioritised risk register for leadership
- find cheap tests before team and budget are committed
- spot outside forces a product-only view would miss

## Example prompts
- De-risk this: an AI agent that drafts insurance claim responses, prototype stage
- Run a PESTEL scan on the internal tool idea and tell me what to test first
- What should we measure before this feature goes on the roadmap?
