-### Readiness Check
-
-- For local evaluation, always check if flags are ready before evaluating using `areFlagsReady()`
-- This prevents race conditions where you might evaluate flags before they've been loaded from the server
-- Implement appropriate retry or wait logic until flags are ready

 ### Resource Management
 
 - Initialize the `MixpanelAPI` once and reuse it throughout your application
