| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rebound slower than forecast | Medium | Medium | Weight to high-intent capture and retention, not just awareness spend |
| KnK out-invests in discovery and ArchiPro | Medium | High | Win on service story and local reviews they cannot match, move fast on Pinterest whitespace |
| No owned audience means paying to reacquire | High if unaddressed | High | Email, SMS and review engine is Month 1, the cheapest revenue |
| Channel overlap with RANK | Medium | Medium | Clear scope split, Ruckus leads paid, social and Geenee, coordinate SEO |
| Budget cut mid-year | Low | Medium | Protect search, review engine and email first, pause discovery spend first |
Recommended engagement: open on Ignite (guide ~$4.5K/mo) built around the foundations they asked for, then step up to Blaze (guide ~$7.5K/mo) as the foundations prove out and the rebound builds. Media indicative $1,500 to $3,000/mo to start, pass-through, growing with results. Goals confirmed (visibility and online presence, first-time, open to AI content); still to confirm are real budget and analytics access. Next step: walk Greg and Vik through the plan on a call, then lock numeric targets once baseline analytics are shared.
