# Skill: Burn down production risk
Most game projects fail on scope, not talent.
## Step 1 — Enumerate the risks
Fun, technical, and content-cost unknowns (§3 #3, #6).
## Step 2 — Rank by risk
Order by impact × uncertainty, not by task convenience.
## Step 3 — Prototype the top risks
Prove or kill the riskiest first.
## Step 4 — Re-scope on findings
Cut scope when a risk proves expensive.
## Output
A ranked risk register, a prototype-first plan, and a re-scoping trigger.
