Explanation

No risk identification process can capture every possible risk. The PMI standard acknowledges that risks are documented 'to the practicable extent possible'-meaning the team identifies as many risks as reasonably feasible given the available time, information, and resources, but complete documentation of all conceivable risks is not a realistic or achievable standard. Justifications based on low probability, insignificant impact, or no historical precedent are problematic alone because they imply the risk was considered but dismissed; however, stating that risks are documented to the practicable extent is the professional and standards-aligned explanation for undocumented risks.
