💬 Discussion 4 — The Risk Most Likely to Sink Your Capstone (20 pts)

Look at the risk register you built in Lab 4. Identify the single risk you believe is most likely to sink your capstone project before the course ends — the one that keeps you up at night, not just the one that's easiest to write down. In your post, address:

- What is the risk, specifically (not "running out of time" in the abstract, but the concrete way it would actually happen for your project)?
- What is the trigger condition — the exact, observable moment you'd know this risk has become real?
- What mitigation does that trigger launch, and why is it the right one for your project?

Then respond to at least two classmates: does their trigger actually seem detectable in time to act, or would it likely fire too late? Would their mitigation genuinely work for their project, or would you suggest something different?
