| Network | Activation of the Bogotá skate community | Local ambassadors for future Gnars initiatives in LATAM |
| Expansion | National/Latin American circuit option | If pilot meets success thresholds, Phase 2 proposal with concrete data |
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction delay | Medium | Medium | Contract with delay penalty; buffer weeks in timeline |
| Vandalism or theft of module | Low | High | Permanent ground anchoring (welded + concreted), location in high-traffic area (natural deterrent) |
| Low user adoption | Low | Medium | Spot validated by 12 years of use; design co-created with local skaters |
| Municipal permits | Medium | High | Low Park is a consolidated public-use space; no special permit required for urban sports furniture (validated) |
| Provider non-compliance | Low | High | Contract with technical specifications; milestone payments; 6-month warranty |
| Phase | Description | Activation condition | Estimated budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 | Second module in another Colombian city (Medellín, Cali or Barranquilla) | Bogotá pilot meets 3/5 success thresholds | 2,500–3,000 USD |
| Phase 3 | National circuit (4–6 cities) + professional audiovisual production | 3 modules installed with positive metrics | 15,000–20,000 USD |
| Phase 4 | Latin American expansion (Mexico, Argentina, Brazil) | Validated national circuit + local alliances | To be defined |
