## πŸ†˜ Blockers & Escalation
### If Blocked
1. Review IMPLEMENTATION_SEQUENCE.md for detailed guidance
2. Check relevant documentation (ARCHITECTURE.md, MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)
3. Review similar code in domain services
4. Ask team for help
### Common Blockers
- **Test failures:** Check test DB schema matches models
- **Import errors:** Use domain services, not db_service
- **Performance issues:** Check indexes, add caching
- **Deployment issues:** Verify environment config
