Transforms free-form risk narrative from a business plan, investment memo, or pitch deck into a fully scored VC risk register (XLSX) and a boardroom-ready executive risk summary (PDF + DOCX editable backup). Applies the six standard VC risk categories, inherent and residual 5×5 scoring, RAG status, senior-review flags, and a heat-map grid — the quantitative scoring and heat-map machinery differentiate it from a qualitative risk-factors-and-mitigants list. Use when a VC associate, analyst, or founder needs to turn unstructured prose risk descriptions into a quantified, sortable risk matrix ready for investor or IC review.

Sample input
Here's the risk section from Vellum's deck — they're a seed-stage legal document automation startup. 'Our key risks: (1) we depend on the OpenAI API for core document generation and don't have a fallback model; (2) two competitors have been building legal-domain training datasets for years and we're starting from scratch; (3) our CEO is a first-time founder; (4) we haven't started SOC 2 and enterprise deals keep asking for it; (5) we have 9 months of runway and need to close Series A by month 6.' Can you turn this into a risk matrix and executive summary? [RISK_OWNERS] not provided. [SCORING_CONVENTION] default.
