   - CPARS Impact: Which CPARS evaluation area (Quality, Schedule, Cost Control, Management, Regulatory Compliance) is most at risk.
   - Probability: (Low/Medium/High).
   - Impact Level: (Low/Medium/High/Critical).
   - Mitigation Strategy: A proactive step to prevent the risk or reduce impact, citing relevant FAR clauses where applicable (e.g., FAR 52.243-1 for changes).
   - Contingency Plan: What to do if the risk materializes.

3. Include a 'Contractual Compliance' section specifically addressing risks related to [SPECIFIC_COMPLIANCE_CONCERN] (e.g., Labor Standards, Cybersecurity/CMMC, or GFE).
