Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, warranties should be more stringent to cover potential liabilities. Ensure comprehensive coverage for all critical components.

New Product Launches
For new products, warranties may need to be more flexible to account for unforeseen issues. Consider shorter durations with options for extension.
