This involves content I created over the past 17 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I've dealt with this before.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
