# JAEGIS Project Risk Assessment and Impact Analysis

## Task 1.5: Risk Assessment and Impact Analysis

**Date**: 2025-01-23\
**Purpose**: Comprehensive risk assessment for JAEGIS project file reorganization with mitigation strategies

## Executive Risk Summary

### 🎯 **Overall Risk Level: MEDIUM-LOW**

* **Core system protected** - JAEGIS-agent structure remains untouched
* **Main risks are build system and documentation references**
* **Comprehensive backup and validation strategy mitigates most risks**
* **Phased approach allows early detection and correction of issues**

## Risk Assessment by Category

### 🚨 **CRITICAL RISKS (Must Prevent)**

#### **Risk C1: Core System Failure**

```yaml
Risk: JAEGIS-agent structure corruption or agent-config.txt damage
Probability: VERY LOW (files not being moved)
Impact: CATASTROPHIC (complete system failure)
Mitigation:
  - Keep entire JAEGIS-agent structure in place
  - Create backup before any changes
  - Verify integrity after reorganization
  - No modifications to agent-config.txt paths
Current Status: MITIGATED (no changes to core files)
```

#### **Risk C2: Build System Failure**

```yaml
Risk: package.json, tsconfig.json, webpack.config.js path issues
Probability: MEDIUM (complex path dependencies)
Impact: HIGH (development and build broken)
Mitigation:
  - Comprehensive backup before changes
  - Update paths systematically
  - Test build at each step
  - Maintain rollback capability
  - Use symlinks if needed temporarily
Mitigation Status: PLANNED
```

#### **Risk C3: Extension Loading Failure**

```yaml

  - Quick rollback if needed
Mitigation Status: ACCEPTABLE
```

### 🟢 **LOW RISKS (Minimal Impact)**

#### **Risk L1: Documentation Organization**

```yaml
Risk: Some documentation may be harder to find initially
Probability: HIGH (expected with reorganization)

  - Update navigation documentation
  - Provide migration guide
Mitigation Status: ACCEPTABLE
```

#### **Risk L2: Temporary File Duplication**

```yaml

Impact: VERY LOW (temporary disk space usage)
Mitigation:
  - Monitor disk space
  - Clean up after validation
  - Use efficient copy strategies
Mitigation Status: ACCEPTABLE
```

Risk Reduction: 40% (preparation and backup)
Time Investment: 2-3 hours
```

### **Phase 2: Low-Risk Files First (Risk Validation)**

```yaml
Actions:
  1. Move documentation files with minimal dependencies
  2. Move utility scripts with limited impact
  3. Test basic functionality after each move
  4. Validate approach with low-risk files

Risk Reduction: 20% (validate approach)
Time Investment: 2-3 hours
```

### **Phase 3: Medium-Risk Files (Controlled Risk)**

```yaml
Actions:
  1. Move build scripts with careful path updates
  2. Move service scripts with configuration updates
  3. Test functionality thoroughly after each change
  4. Validate system integration

Risk Reduction: 25% (systematic approach)
Time Investment: 3-4 hours
```

### **Phase 4: High-Risk Files (Maximum Care)**

```yaml
Actions:
  1. Move build configuration files with comprehensive testing
  2. Update all path references systematically
  3. Test build system thoroughly
  4. Validate extension functionality

Risk Reduction: 15% (careful execution)
Time Investment: 4-5 hours
```

## Contingency Plans
