KNOWN RISKS

Make the difficult parts
explicit early.

The strongest scope identifies the product risks before the implementation details become expensive.

Implement reporting, AI-assisted flagging, and clear community guidelines.

Start with chronological, then add engagement-weighted ranking over time.

03 / Critical Mass

Launch with a tight-knit community or specific interest group first.
