A startup has a limited budget and needs to reduce user experience risks in their new app. They have identified several issues through heuristic evaluation. They must choose between fixing a critical issue that affects a small number of users or a moderate issue that affects many users. Which approach best aligns with effective risk mitigation?

Fix the critical issue first because it has the highest severity.

Fix the moderate issue first because it affects more users.

Prioritize based on a risk matrix that considers both severity and frequency.

Fix both issues simultaneously to maximize user satisfaction.
