Initial Risk Register

Metadata and Method

  • Owner: Project manager / safety steward (named assignee pending)
  • Review cadence: Each iteration, release, trust-boundary change, public claim change, or serious defect
  • Scale: Impact and likelihood use Critical/High/Medium/Low; exposure reflects pre-control combination; residual risk reflects current controls and evidence.
  • Blocking rule: Any change that weakens authorization, default scope containment, exact-origin credentials, or required evidence/claim gates without an approved replacement control blocks release.

Prioritized Risks

ID Description Impact Likelihood Exposure Mitigation / control Owner role Status Residual risk
R-001 Operations exceed authorized target scope Critical Medium Critical Explicit target/RoE, scope gate, approval, adapter negative tests, release blocking Safety reviewer Mitigating continuously Medium; adapter completeness must remain verified
R-002 Provider/target secrets or engagement evidence leak Critical Medium Critical Environment/local config, exact-origin headers, redaction, ignored/protected paths, operator retention Safety + release Open residual Medium; local host/storage policy remains operator-controlled
R-003 Aspirational or corpus-scoped capability is represented as generally stable High High High ADR-004/005, maturity matrix, claim/stub/count tests, planned consistency audit Evaluation steward Mitigating Medium until automated cross-doc audit exists
R-004 Model/tool nondeterminism produces a false finding High High High Evidence gate, adjudication, verification/refutation, receipts and report state Evaluation + safety Open residual Medium; live evidence can remain incomplete
R-005 External tool/dependency compromises host or supply chain Critical Medium Critical Narrow structured adapters, approvals, container guidance, lockfile/CI review, future SBOM/signing decision Configuration manager Open Medium/High depending on selected tool
R-006 Modular monolith accumulates unsafe coupling High Medium High Typed seams, shared safety controls, SAD/ADRs, tests, architecture review triggers Architecture steward Mitigating Medium
R-007 Local artifact loss, corruption, or retention mishandling High Medium High Protected update paths, local mounts, operator backup/retention, rollback plan Operator + release Open Medium; no centralized durability claim
R-008 Imported code/target content or model output manipulates the agent/runtime Critical Medium Critical Treat content as untrusted, deterministic execution gates, bounded parsers, prompt audit, evidence verification Safety reviewer Mitigating Medium; evolving agentic attacks require review
R-009 Provider/tool timeout or infrastructure failure is reported as success/model failure High Medium High Finite timeouts, explicit error classification, fallback records, receipt outcome taxonomy Test/evaluation Mitigating Low/Medium
R-010 Unknown ownership/capacity delays critical review or response High Medium High Assign role owners per iteration/release; named approvals and backup reviewers Maintainer Open High until roster assigned

Review Actions

  1. Complete the machine-readable network-adapter safety/test inventory for R-001 and R-005.
  2. Implement cross-document maturity consistency for R-003.
  3. Define sensitive-artifact backup, retention, encryption, and disposal guidance for R-002/R-007.
  4. Assign named architecture, safety, evaluation, test, and release owners for R-010.
  5. Re-score after Iteration 001 evidence is available; do not mark residual risk “Low” without a cited test/control result.
