**Critical Path:** Phase 1 completion (90 days max = 2026-11-30)

---

## Risks & Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation | Monitoring |
|------|--------|-----------|-----------|
| Phase 1 delay >90d | 1 month slip | Auto-monitoring alerts | Weekly checks |
| OOS shows drift | Require model tune | Already in contract | Gate 5b acceptance |
| PBO unexpectedly high | Reduce model trust | Golden data baseline | Pre-deployment review |
| Production bug post-deploy | Data loss | Rollback procedure ready | 24/7 SLA monitoring |

**Contingency:** If Phase 1 takes 120 days = Production ready ~2027-01-10
