Risk-treatment is the phase of risk management in which an organization selects and implements options to address identified risks. It follows risk assessment and encompasses four principal approaches: mitigation (reducing likelihood or impact), avoidance (eliminating the activity causing the risk), transfer (shifting the consequence to another party, as via insurance or contract), and acceptance (consciously retaining the risk with documented rationale). A risk-treatment is distinguished from risk-assessment by its orientation toward action: assessment carves and scores the risk landscape; treatment acts upon it. The definition requires that each treatment option specify (1) the risk it addresses, (2) the chosen approach from the four categories, (3) the responsible party, and (4) the resources or controls deployed. This transforms risk from a catalog entry into managed operational decisions. [formal: tractatio-risicus | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]
