KNOWN RISKS
Make the difficult parts
explicit early.
The strongest scope identifies the product risks before the implementation details become expensive.
01 / Audio Storage Costs
Use CDN caching and implement tiered storage based on episode age.
02 / Accurate Analytics
Track downloads properly following IAB guidelines for industry-standard metrics.
03 / Directory Submissions
Automate RSS validation and provide clear setup guides for each platform.
