10. Risk Mitigation
Risk: Resource Dilution Across Multiple Markets
Mitigation: Focus 80% of campaign resources on retail market first, with limited aviation market exploration until retail success is proven
Risk: Technology Adoption Resistance
Mitigation: Develop comprehensive ROI calculator, offer pilot programs with success guarantees, create detailed technical documentation addressing common concerns
Risk: Competitive Response
Mitigation: Accelerate patent applications, build strong partnership moats, establish thought leadership position before larger competitors enter market
Risk: Partnership Development Challenges
Mitigation: Diversify partnership pipeline across multiple potential partners, develop clear value propositions for each partner type, offer flexible partnership terms
Risk: Long Sales Cycles
Mitigation: Implement pilot program strategy to reduce decision-making barriers, provide clear ROI demonstration tools, leverage partnerships for market access acceleration
Risk: Manufacturing Integration Complexities
Mitigation: Start with simpler integration use cases, develop standardized implementation processes, partner with established manufacturers for credibility
