Pricing and free-tier limits change frequently; re-check official pricing before budget decisions.

Tasks reduced or augmented

Software does not replace community or ops staff. It may reduce or augment:

Finding consensus meeting times
Event date polls

Human oversight still needed

Risks

Area	Notes
Vendor lock-in	Evaluate export formats and API completeness before deep customization.
Security	Apply updates promptly; restrict admin access; enable TLS.
Compliance	Operator remains responsible for privacy and local regulatory obligations.
Licensing	Confirm license fits commercial coworking use.
Operational	Plan backups, monitoring, and a restore drill before production use.
