Interesting! Did you make any further progress? I personally see a great deal of value in this kind of risk identification. A lot of risks are not easily solved (eg: just buy insurance!) or properly quantified (eg: accident insurance protects me from income loss!).

No progress, I dropped the ball because of smooth sailing in my life. Which is exactly why I should prepare for things getting worse.

But seeing as people gave upvotes, there seems to be interest. I might pick the ball up again.
