Risk Scoring
Use a 0-100 scale where:
- •0-20: Minimal risk (green light)
- •21-35: Low risk (proceed with standard diligence)
- •36-50: Moderate risk (proceed with caution)
- •51-70: High risk (significant concerns)
- •71-100: Critical risk (major red flags)
File Naming Convention
Save your report to the shared folder as:

Example:
code

code
/shared-out/{your-domain}-analysis/{company_name}_{date}_summary.md
This should include:
- •Executive summary (2-3 paragraphs)
- •Key findings (bullet points)
- •Risk assessment visualization
