+
+# Launch Risk Playbooks Skill
+
+## When to Use
+- Pre-launch risk assessments and go/no-go criteria.
+- During launch week to monitor escalations and coordinate mitigations.
+- Post-launch retros to capture lessons and update future playbooks.
+
+## Framework
+Launch risk governance combines categorical coverage with a repeatable execution cadence. Use the following building blocks to keep Tier 1+ launches on track.
+
+### Risk Categories
+1. **Product & Reliability** – feature readiness, bugs, infrastructure load, rollback paths.
+2. **Go-to-Market** – messaging accuracy, asset approvals, channel readiness, partner alignment.
+3. **Compliance & Legal** – policy reviews, privacy terms, licensing, regional constraints.
+4. **Support & Success** – staffing levels, escalation handoffs, enablement coverage.
+5. **External Factors** – competitor moves, macro events, press sentiment, supply chain.
+
+### Execution Process
+1. Identify risks w/ likelihood + impact scoring.
+2. Assign owners, mitigation steps, triggers, fallback actions.
+3. Maintain real-time risk log during war-room standups.
+4. Capture resolution notes + update future tiering guidelines.
+
+## Templates
+- Risk register (description, likelihood, impact, owner, mitigation, status).
+- Escalation playbook (trigger, communication plan, action tree).
+- Lessons learned tracker feeding future launches.
+
+## Tips
+- Pre-populate risk banks per tier to accelerate planning.
+- Tie mitigations to instrumentation/alerts to catch issues early.
+- Share summaries with execs daily during Tier 1 launches.
