Practical tools for better risk decisions.
This is where I share the risk tools I've built and actually use. Free, open, and honest about their limits.

AI Risk Map™
A thought-starter for identifying AI-specific risk factors, built to widen the conversation before formal assessment.
- Structured overviewA single-page view across major domains of AI risk.
- Visual hierarchyDomains → categories → risk factors to guide broader thinking.
- Blind spots revealedSpotlight overlooked risks most teams miss.
- Better conversationsSparks sharper discussions and stronger decisions.
Why this exists
I started this site years ago to share practical risk tools. Then work got busy and it sat quietly for longer than I'd like to admit. I'm bringing it back because the gap hasn't closed: most risk material is either too abstract to use or too proprietary to share. What you find here comes from practice, and it's yours to use.
House rules
- Free to useThe license is on every page.
- OpenSource files live on GitHub.
- VersionedThings change, and you can see when and why.
- Honest about limitsEvery tool says what it isn't.
- Chaining risk factors into a risk scenarioPick related factors off the AI Risk Map, connect them by condition type, and write a risk scenario someone can own and analyze. Technique technēGreek for craft: knowing how to make or do something. A Technique piece aims to be useful.
