Risk Management Framework
Operational Risks
Risk: Technology fails to perform as promised
Mitigation: Phased deployment, proven technology stack, local technical support, transparent communication if issues arise
Reputational Risks
Risk: Perception of "disaster profiteering" or "using crisis for tech experiment"
Mitigation: Explicit disclosure that donations fund infrastructure, demonstrate immediate relief impact, transparency dashboard, community input mechanisms
Financial Risks
Risk: Donation fatigue from multiple disasters and causes
Mitigation: Differentiation through verification (unique value proposition), multiple donor segments, long-term narrative building future not just fixing past
