Lowlights · honest section

4. Top risks

IDRiskMitigation
R-01 Scope creep. Too many side projects in flight at once. WIP limit of 3, enforced in public on the delivery board.
R-02 Single point of failure. One author writes every report on this site. Templates, automation, and a stubborn weekly habit.
