+## 6. RISK ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION
+
+### HIGH RISK (Likely to Cause Delays)
+
+| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
+|------|------------|--------|---------------------|
+| **One-time agent download complexity** | 80% | CRITICAL | Start early (Week 6), consider simplified approach (agent runs without install initially) |
+| **Installer builder scope creep** | 70% | HIGH | Define strict MVP: EXE only with embedded metadata. Defer MSI to Phase 4 or post-launch. |
+| **Input relay timing/latency issues** | 60% | CRITICAL | Extensive testing on WAN (throttled networks), optimize early, consider adaptive quality. |
+| **Team availability/turnover** | 50% | HIGH | Document everything, code reviews, pair programming for knowledge transfer. |
+| **Security vulnerabilities in rush** | 60% | CRITICAL | Security review after each phase, automated security scanning in CI/CD. |
+
+### MEDIUM RISK (Manageable)
+
+| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
+|------|------------|--------|---------------------|
+| **Multi-monitor switching complexity** | 50% | MEDIUM | Protocol already supports it. Focus on UI simplicity. Test with 2-4 monitors. |
+| **Clipboard compatibility issues** | 50% | MEDIUM | Start text-only, add formats incrementally. Test on Windows 7-11. |
+| **PowerShell output streaming** | 40% | HIGH | Use existing .NET/Windows libraries, test with long-running commands, handle timeouts gracefully. |
+| **File transfer chunking/resume** | 40% | MEDIUM | Start with simple implementation (no resume), optimize later based on real-world usage. |
+| **Dashboard real-time update performance** | 30% | MEDIUM | WebSocket infrastructure exists. Test with 50+ sessions, optimize selectively. |
+
+### LOW RISK (Minor Concerns)
+
+| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
+|------|------------|--------|---------------------|
+| **Cross-browser compatibility** | 30% | MEDIUM | Modern browsers are similar. Test Chrome, Firefox, Edge. Defer Safari/old browsers. |
+| **MSI packaging learning curve** | 30% | LOW | Defer to Phase 4 or post-launch. Use WiX toolset, plenty of documentation. |
+| **Safe mode reboot compatibility** | 20% | LOW | Windows API well-documented. Test on Windows 10/11 and Server 2019/2022. |
+

+
+## 14. FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
+
+### IMMEDIATE ACTIONS (This Week)
+
+1. **Prioritize security fixes** - Cannot launch with hardcoded JWT secret
+2. **Hire/assign frontend developer** - Critical path bottleneck
+3. **Set up systemd service** - Infrastructure requirement for production
+4. **Create GitHub/Gitea issues** - Track all findings from this review
+5. **Schedule weekly team syncs** - Every Monday, review progress vs roadmap
+
+### STRATEGIC DECISIONS
+
+**Decision 1: Timeline**
+- **Conservative (26 weeks):** Lower risk, thorough testing, minimal team stress
+- **Aggressive (16 weeks):** Higher risk, requires optimal team, potential burnout
+- **RECOMMENDED (20 weeks):** Balanced approach with contingency buffer
+
+**Decision 2: Team Size**
+- **Minimum (1-2 people):** 26+ weeks, high risk of delays
+- **RECOMMENDED (4-5 people):** 16-20 weeks, manageable risk
+- **Optimal (6-7 people):** 12-16 weeks, lowest risk
+
+**Decision 3: Feature Scope**
+- **MVP Only (Tier 0):** Fast to market but not competitive
+- **RECOMMENDED (Tier 0 + Tier 1):** Competitive product, reasonable timeline
+- **Full Feature (Tier 0-3):** 26+ weeks, defer some to post-launch
+
+### KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
+
+1. **Fix security issues FIRST** - Non-negotiable
+2. **Build end-user portal early** - Unblocks all testing
+3. **Focus on Howard's priorities** - PowerShell/CMD, clipboard, 64-bit
+4. **Test on real networks** - WAN latency is critical
+5. **Get beta users early** - MSP feedback invaluable
+6. **Maintain code quality** - Rust makes this easier, don't compromise
+7. **Document as you go** - Reduces onboarding time for new team members

+**Risk Level:** MEDIUM (manageable with proper planning)
+
+**Critical Path:**
+1. Fix 5 critical security vulnerabilities (3 weeks)
+2. Build end-user portal + agent download (5 weeks)
+3. Complete core features (clipboard, PowerShell, files) (7 weeks)
+4. Add competitive features (chat, multi-monitor, grouping) (8 weeks)
+5. Polish and production readiness (6 weeks)
+
+**Outcome:** Competitive MSP remote support solution ready for general availability
+
+**Next Step:** Howard reviews this plan, approves timeline/budget, assigns team
