Avoiding industry overcapacity seems like a big deal, especially after what we discussed in class about market saturation.

I think forecasting long-term demand is really crucial, but I'm not entirely sure how to balance that with competitor analysis.

Okay, I've got this. The two steps I would take are enabling DMARC and creating an incoming content filter with SPF detection. That should help ensure the executive emails are coming from legitimate sources.
