Potential friction points and how to mitigate them

• Perfectionism−

  may lead to excessive time spent on optimizing every minute aspect of the waveform or efficiency, delaying completion.

  mitigation

  we will set clear, achievable performance benchmarks upfront and prioritize meeting those before attempting advanced optimizations. This approach ensures a functional output and redirects energy towards iterative improvement rather than initial flawlessness.

• Scope Creep−

  may arise from the desire to add complex features like advanced battery management systems or multiple output voltages beyond the core inverter function.

  mitigation

  we will limit the initial build to a single, essential inverter function with defined power output. This strategy keeps the project focused on its primary objective, ensuring a complete and operational unit within the "small" project scope.
