## Prompt

```text
Help me prepare an emerging risk scan for my risk committee.

**Organization:** [industry, size, geographies, business model]
**Current top risks on our register:** [LIST]
**Strategic plans for the next 2-3 years:** [e.g. new markets, AI adoption, acquisitions]
**Sources or developments I have already noticed:** [PASTE notes, articles, regulatory consultations]
**Time horizon:** [e.g. 1-3 years]

Do this:
1. List 8-12 candidate emerging risks across regulatory, technology, geopolitical, economic, climate and environmental, societal, and operational themes, relevant to my organization.
2. For each: a one-paragraph description, how it could affect us specifically, the transmission path (how it would reach us), early warning signals to watch, velocity (how fast it could hit), and a rough relevance rating (High/Medium/Low) with reasoning.
3. Flag which overlap with risks already on our register and which are genuinely new.
4. Recommend the top 3-5 for deeper analysis, with a suggested owner role and the next step (monitor, scenario analysis, deep dive, add to register).
5. A one-page summary table for the committee pack.

Rules: base specifics on the information I provided. If you refer to any external development, regulation, or statistic, flag it [VERIFY SOURCE] because it may be out of date - do not invent citations or figures. Distinguish clearly between established facts and plausible scenarios.
