Riskiideid

Riskiideid on Estonian term that refers to proposals, ideas, or plans that contain substantial uncertainty or potential negative consequences. The phrase is commonly used in business, technology, and governance discussions to flag ideas that carry higher risk relative to expected benefits.

In practice, riskiideid arise during ideation, project submission, policy development, or early-stage product concepts. They can be technical risks (reliability, safety), financial (cost overruns, funding gaps), operational (supply chain, execution), regulatory or reputational.

Identification and assessment: collect inputs from stakeholders; use risk assessment methods: qualitative scales (low/medium/high), or quantitative estimates (probability x impact). Consider dependencies and time horizon; evaluate risk tolerance and exposure.

Handling: decide to mitigate (via design changes, controls), transfer (insurance), accept (low mitigation cost relative to benefit), or terminate the idea. Document in risk register or decision log; monitor throughout development.

Notes: Riskiideid is not a formal, standalone discipline but a descriptive label used in Estonian-language risk discourse; it overlaps with risk management, innovation governance, and policy analysis.
