## Known Limitations & Mitigations

### Limitation 1: Vector Database Size
**Description:** Milvus configured for 1M embeddings
**Impact:** After 1M solutions stored, performance degradation expected
**Mitigation:** Archive old solutions, implement sharding strategy
**Timeline:** Expected after 2 years of operation (assuming 1,300 solutions/day)

### Limitation 2: LiteLLM Token Cost
**Description:** Using GPT-3.5-turbo at ~$0.001 per 1K tokens
**Impact:** $0.02-0.05 per ticket analysis (depending on ticket size)
**Mitigation:** Implement token budget limits, use cheaper models for simple issues
**Timeline:** Monitor costs after first 30 days

### Limitation 3: Workflow Parallelization
**Description:** n8n free tier limited to 5 concurrent workflows
**Impact:** High-volume scenarios (>5 simultaneous tickets) will queue
**Mitigation:** Upgrade to n8n Pro for unlimited parallelization
**Timeline:** Evaluate after first month of operation

### Limitation 4: Email Delivery Reliability
**Description:** Email sending depends on Freescout's mail provider
**Impact:** Email delivery may be delayed 5-30 minutes
**Mitigation:** Implement retry logic in Workflow B, notify users of delays
**Timeline:** Standard limitation of email infrastructure
