"riskDetails": "Without a formal contract in place between the Dragon's Heart Institute and the Billions Institute, there is a significant risk of misalignment on roles, responsibilities, and deliverables, which could lead to confusion, inefficiencies, and potential conflict. The absence of clearly defined legal and financial terms increases exposure to liability, disputes over intellectual property, and challenges in enforcing accountability or resolving disagreements. A contract is essential to ensure mutual understanding, protect both parties' interests, and provide a structured framework for collaboration, especially when scaling innovative solutions across a national system like NHS Wales.",
