Risk Management Timeline

Phase Key Risk Mitigation
1 Delays in hardware deployment Parallel procurement; buffer inventory
1 Low community adoption Incentive programs; pilot programs
2 Monero price volatility Stablecoin reserve; automated hedging
3 Inter-island connectivity Multi-mode gateways; satellite backup
4 Export complexity Standardized packaging; documentation
