### Systems

- **POWER**: dev
- **COMMS**: dev
- **AEROSTAT**: dev
- **AVIONICS**: dev
- **NAV/AI**: dev
- **FUNDING**: attention

### Critical / high risks

- **R-01** — Acid degradation of balloon envelope _(medium/high)_
- **R-02** — Entry / inflation sequence failure _(medium/critical)_
- **R-03** — Comms blackout / insufficient downlink _(medium/high)_
- **R-04** — No committed launch path; schedule risk is structural _(high/high)_
- **R-05** — Capital shortfall vs flight-class cost _(high/high)_
