Risk Inventory

The Risk Inventory highlights factors that may complicate or block a cloud exit and groups them by severity.

It answers:

Where are the main exit blockers, dependencies, and constraints — and how serious are they?

Why it matters

The Risk Inventory is one of the most important sections of the report because it:

• surfaces exit blockers early
• highlights vendor lock-in and portability constraints
• helps you prioritize remediation actions
• provides context for alternative technology analysis
• feeds directly into scoring (only in Connected mode)

Risks should be reviewed together with:

• Resource Inventory (what you have)
• Cost Overview (what it costs)
• Alternative Technologies (what can replace it)

Taken together, these sections form the foundation of a realistic exit readiness assessment.

What you will see

The Risk Inventory typically includes:

• a severity distribution (High / Medium / Low)
• a ranked list of identified risks
• a short description explaining why each risk matters
• impacted resources or services, where applicable

Examples of risks you may see include:

• no alternative technologies available for a service
• limited number of viable alternatives
• lack of enterprise-supported alternatives
• a large or complex resource inventory that increases exit effort
