⚠️ Risk Management & Contingencies

H
High: Solo Founder Burnout

Building complex platform solo for 8+ weeks.

Mitigation:
  • Build 1-week buffer every 8 weeks
  • Outsource non-core work (UI design)
  • Use low-code tools aggressively
M
Medium: AI API Costs

OpenRouter costs could exceed projections.

Mitigation:
  • Implement aggressive caching
  • Set per-user rate limits
  • Fallback to cheaper models
H
High: Low User Adoption

Benchmark creation might be too complex for users.

Contingency:
  • Pivot to curated benchmark library first
  • Add AI-assisted benchmark creation
  • Focus on specific vertical (legal, code)
