Please consider to represent the following types of risks in "8. Risks":

• risks associated w financial contracts of the pay-as-you-go variety, namely: cost overruns or budget evaporation, as opposed to risks w financial contracts of the fixed-price variety
• risk of not balancing coordination (implying conformity) which can potentially act as a preventative factor re: innovation
• risk of prioritization of outsourcing over internal capacity building, leading to potential lack of internal capacity to recognize solutions (internal or external) let alone build or effect them; potential lack of internal capacity to support meaningful relationships with key partners
• possible risk of unsuccessful retention of HQP. Risk of lack of competitiveness w counterparts in academia or industry
