Risk Register
Severity: 🔴 High | Likelihood: Medium
Users sign up but don't engage, retention falls below 20% D30, and the core value proposition doesn't resonate, leading to potential wasted resources and missed opportunities for funding.
Mitigation: Conduct 30+ customer interviews, create a low-fidelity prototype, and run a concierge MVP with pilot customers. Monitor weekly retention cohorts and NPS surveys.
Severity: 🟡 Medium | Likelihood: High
Lower signup rates and higher CAC can extend the time to break-even and strain financial resources. It's crucial to diversify acquisition channels and leverage community and content marketing strategies.
Mitigation: Diversify channels, build in public, and launch on multiple platforms. Set up a referral program and offer founding member perks to boost initial traction.
