KNOWN RISKS
Make the difficult parts
explicit early.
The strongest scope identifies the product risks before the implementation details become expensive.
01 / Churn Management
Build pause/skip features and flexible subscription management to reduce cancellations.
02 / Inventory Forecasting
Create dashboards showing upcoming renewals to predict inventory needs.
03 / Failed Payment Recovery
Implement smart dunning with multiple retry attempts and payment method updates.
