## Key Risks (From Pipeline Review)

- Pricing suicide (fixed: tiered usage-based)
- Sony trademark conflict (fixed: rebranded)
- Training-data recursion (Year 3+ — acknowledged, cap plan in place)
- Liability asymmetry (GO verdicts > NO-GO exposure)
- Alignment drift (models becoming less critical over time)
- SEO desert from rebrand (mitigation: 301 redirects, content marketing)
