What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the
project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?
Latency continues to be a risk, HTTP requests with the web app is not a big concern but algorithmic processing may be slow, this is mitigated by the tools we are using, which are efficient, and the categorization of data so that it can be more easily queried.
Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements,
block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs
does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward?
No changes.
