Questions to be addressed
• Is there a CDM missing satellites problem?
• Can we ever distinguish between coresand cusps?
• What is the smallest dark matter system?
• Viable alternatives to CDM? What are theirphenomenological implications?

Inner slope is never well-constrained.However, log-slope at several hundred pc isconstrained. This is sufficient to distinguishcores and cusps.
