Risk review

Most systems that produce an analysis have nobody whose job is to disagree with it. The risk mandate reads the desk, the theses the other cards returned, and holds a veto on adoption. Its remit is declared limits, desk concentration, and that veto.

#A refusal is a result

When a question cannot be answered at the as-of date with admissible sources, the mandate deposits a blocked artefact rather than approximating. It carries what was attempted and why it stopped; the contract refuses to deposit it otherwise. That is the most honest answer available, and often the most useful.

EvidenceThe tool that reports a block requires no capability at all, every mandate must be able to say it cannot answer. Refusing is not a privilege.

#What the risk mandate can and cannot reach

• AVAILABLEReading what the other cards concludedThe desk capability, declared by the risk mandate. It is the raw material of a review.
• PLANNEDReaching the open web to check a claimNot for this mandate, and not by oversight: a role that reads the desk cannot reach outward. Checking an external claim is the news mandate’s job, and it holds nothing else.
• PLANNEDA sealed replay of this mandate at workSix of the fourteen mandates have no sealed capture, and this is one of them. Its page shows the mandate and the tools; nothing is shown in place of a run that did not happen.
