Risk Mitigation
If Site Not Fixed by 11:00 AM
Action: Proceed with PH placeholder submission
- PH allows updating assets post-submission
- Use primary thumbnail (ready)
- Use dev environment screenshots
- Preserves supporter outreach timeline
If Founder Unavailable
Action: Use defaults
- Primary thumbnail variant
- CMO-drafted VIP list (cold outreach to influencers)
- Continue unblocked work streams
If HN Account Not Ready
Action: Begin karma building
- Create account immediately
- Comment on 5-10 threads/day
- Target: 100+ karma in 7-14 days
- Adjust HN submission date to June 14 if needed
