# RAI Risk Classification

Use this note when entering Phase 2 or re-checking the risk-screening logic.

## Prohibited Uses Gate

Run the prohibited uses gate before any other indicator assessment.

* Ask whether the system falls into any prohibited use category defined by user policy or applicable regulations.
* If the answer is yes, document the category and pause before continuing.
* Do not advance to the remaining risk indicators without explicit acknowledgment.

## Risk Indicator Assessment

Use the active framework's indicators and evaluation method. The standard RAI profile uses:

* `safety_reliability` — binary screening
* `rights_fairness_privacy` — categorical assessment
* `security_explainability` — continuous or scored assessment

Record why an indicator activated, what evidence supports it, and what the implication is for the downstream assessment.

## Depth Tier Assignment

The suggested depth tier is derived from the activated indicator count:

* 0 indicators: `basic`
* 1 indicator: `standard`
* 2 or more indicators: `comprehensive`

Present the tier, rationale, and confirmation requirement before advancing to Phase 3.
