The world's risk research platform. Published reports. On demand.
Arrive with a worry. Configure your research. Receive your report. Know the unknowns. Contact a professional for advice.
A risk question arrives as a worry about an employee, a supplier, a regulator or a country, and the published evidence on it sits scattered across statutes, filings and reporting. TheRiskAgent gathers that evidence into one referenced report, scoped to the situation you are in.
Three answers set the scope.
What comes back is research, not advice. It carries its sources so the findings can be checked, and the experts who work in that jurisdiction and domain appear alongside it.
TheRiskAgent Insights
Air strikes on Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz in February 2026, and seven months on it is still shut. Airlines spent the year being told they were hedged, but most had insured the price of crude and left the refining margin that turns crude into jet fuel wide open. Energy risk in global passenger air transport, and the number that decided who survived.
The cyber-intrusions that defined 2026 for life sciences did not come through anyone's firewall. They came through a supplier, a forgotten integration, and a software package that arrived correctly signed. Illinois is where that costs most, because its law puts the notification duty and the class action on whoever held the data, not on whoever lost it.
A New South Wales law firm runs discovery for its clients every day. Whether it could survive discovery run against itself is a different question. Readiness is not the software a firm buys but four disciplines it rehearses, and the sharpest trap is that the forensic report a firm commissions after its own breach can become the other side's best evidence.
A British executive moving from New York to London carries the right to live and work with no visa at all. That is where the simplicity ends. The move is decided by a four-year tax clock most returners do not know they are racing, a pay cut that seniority will not close, and the American passports in the family.
When fraud surfaces inside an Indonesian palm-oil company, the instinct is to call everyone in and get answers. In a sector the state is actively hunting, that instinct is what turns a containable problem into an existential one. The dangerous act is not the fraud. It is how the board is briefed about it.
The fear about AI at sea is crewless robot ships and lost jobs. The evidence points the other way. Adoption is broad but shallow, human command is still the law, and AI is being pulled in to plug a crew shortage. The real risk is the one that downed Flight 447: capable automation, watched by people no longer practised at overruling it.
