# 🔍 Complete System Audit: Radio Platform
**Date:** 2025-12-02
**Scope:** Radio Station Licensing + Live Streaming Platform
**Status:** Comprehensive Review
---
## 📋 Executive Summary
### ✅ **What's Working**
- Core database schema is well-designed
- API structure is RESTful and logical
- Live streaming features are implemented
- Business model integration is documented
- Admin management panel exists
### ⚠️ **Critical Issues**
1. **Missing `radio_stations` table** - Core table not created yet
2. **Foreign key constraints** - Some failing due to missing parent tables
3. **Transaction handling** - Fixed but needs monitoring
4. **Column size issues** - `call_sign` was too small (fixed)
### 🔧 **Areas Needing Improvement**
1. Error handling consistency
2. Security validation
3. API endpoint completeness
4. Dashboard feature gaps
5. Documentation gaps
