Wait, did someone say 'rain'? Time to break out the umbrellas, folks! I wonder if the risk manager can do a rain dance to influence the weather.

Nah, nah, the answer is clearly using industry standard risk thresholds. Can't go wrong with the tried and true, am I right?

Hold up, I reckon the risk manager should find out the stakeholders' risk appetite. That's the key to understanding what they're really looking for here.

Well, if you ask me, the risk manager should perform a sensitivity analysis of the risk. That way, they can really get a grip on the situation and make an informed decision.

But shouldn't the risk manager also consider the stakeholders' risk appetite to make an informed decision?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the risk manager should review the agreed-upon risk tolerance to find the correct limit. Gotta stick to the plan, you know?
