9. Risks to the business

RiskWhy it mattersWhat to do
Executives refuse to acceptThe method asks people to put their name and a date on what they carry. Many will not, at first.Start with risks already visible at board level, where accountability is not in doubt. Make short intervals easy. Report "unaccepted" as a status the board sees, not as a failure of the person.
The GRC team sees a competitorThe service touches the register, and the register is theirs.Integrate, write back into their platform, and make them the buyer.
It becomes a paperwork exerciseAcceptance without facts is a signature collection.No risk without an "established by" fact; no acceptance without an interval; no interval without an action at expiry.
Evidence is sensitiveA risk vault holds a candid picture of weak controls.Client-side encrypted vaults, keys held by the customer, read keys issued per audience.
Too granular to maintainFractal mapping can generate thousands of nodes.Map fractally only where a risk is material. Most register rows stay as rows.
It depends on a few expertsThe early work is judgement-heavy.Write the method down as a playbook and train partners on it from the first year.
The tooling is partly unbuiltrisks.sgit.ai states plainly that essentially none of its model is implemented in code. The Risk Graph Explorer and the demo here are the working parts.Sell the service, not the software. Build tooling only where the service repeats.
