Price the exposure before the event prices it for you.
Conventional risk registers rank what is already known and rate it by feel. Risk Science looks for the exposure the instruments were never tuned to detect, then attaches a number and a leading indicator to it.
Electricity prices in Ohio rose 26 percent, driven largely by data center demand. Nobody files that under sustainability risk. It is supply and demand.
But the hedge against it is the same hedge. Generation you own does not care why the market price moved.
Solar output peaks in the afternoon, which is when air conditioning demand peaks. Storage and renewables need no fuel supply, so they are indifferent to export policy and to conflict. Some electric vehicles will power a house through a blackout.
None of that was the reason for the investment. All of it is value the investment produced, and most of it never reaches a risk register.

Turn a color on a heat map into a figure in a plan.
