VII. Risk Mitigation (Draco Review)

Reputational Risks

  • Public misinterpretation of philosophical claims Mitigation: Clear “interpretive, not canonical” labeling. Pinned clarification comments.

  • Conflation with unrelated spiritual/New Age movements Mitigation: Structural language, systems thinking framing. Avoid mystical terminology.

  • Patron expectation mismatch (benefits not delivered) Mitigation: Underpromise, overdeliver. Monthly check-ins. Transparent communication.

Platform Risks

  • YouTube algorithm changes reducing visibility Mitigation: Diversify platforms. Build email list. Patreon as direct channel.

  • Social media account suspension/moderation Mitigation: Backup contact lists. Multi-platform presence. Website as home base.
