SKILL.md
A measurement framework that challenges short-term growth wins by maintaining long-term control groups (holdouts) to verify if immediate lifts translate to sustainable value over 1-3 years.
Core principle: 30-40% of short-term "wins" show neutral or zero impact long-term.
| Long holdout | Keep control group for 12-18 months | | Automated pings | System reminds team to check at 6, 12 months | | Cohort GMV focus | Long-term value, not short-term conversion | | Accept reversals | Be willing to deprecate "successful" features |
