## Risk Assessment
|
|
|
|
### 🔴 CRITICAL: Site Outage >24 Hours
|
|
**Impact:** PH submission 4 days overdue, launch at risk
|
|
**Mitigation:**
|
|
- Escalate to CEO/Board immediately
|
|
- Submit PH with placeholder screenshots (PH allows updates)
|
|
- Consider launch date adjustment (June 8-9)
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:** If site not fixed within 1 hour, escalate
|
|
|
|
### 🟡 HIGH: HN Account Readiness
|
|
**Impact:** Cannot submit Show HN on target date
|
|
**Mitigation:**
|
|
- Verify account status today (executing now)
|
|
- Begin karma building immediately if needed
|
|
- Adjust HN date if necessary (June 14 acceptable)
|
|
|
|
### 🟡 HIGH: Founder Decisions Pending
|
|
**Impact:** PH submission incomplete, supporter outreach blocked
|
|
**Mitigation:**
|
|
- Use primary thumbnail if no preference
|
|
- CMO can draft VIP list for founder approval
|
|
- Proceed with available assets
|
|
