Risk Mitigation Isn’t “Getting Comfortable.” It’s Getting Specific.

I hear a lot of vague risk language:

“I feel good about it.”
“We’re comfortable.”
“It’ll work out.”

Real mitigation is specific:

  • What risk?
  • What plan?
  • What cost?
  • What timeline?
  • What contingency?

When buyers are emotionally invested, specificity disappears.

Because specificity invites hard questions.

Discipline invites them anyway.
