Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace professional legal consultation?

No. This generates a preliminary assessment to identify gaps and prepare for professional review. Always have your institution's risk management office, legal counsel, and insurance provider approve final plans.

Can this handle virtual or hybrid events?

Yes, but modify the variables to include cybersecurity risks, platform failure contingencies, and data privacy concerns rather than physical safety hazards.

How do I use this for recurring weekly events?

Run the assessment once for the template, then create a shortened 'Weekly Risk Checklist' derived from the output that covers changing variables like weather, attendance fluctuations, and specific vendors.

What if my institution has specific insurance requirements?

Add those requirements to the [SPECIAL_ACTIVITIES] or [VENUE_DETAILS] variable (e.g., 'Requires $5M umbrella policy and specific food handler certifications') to get customized compliance recommendations.
