Instrumentation & metrics partnership

Explain the practical point behind "Partner with data science on instrumentation, metrics and measuring whether a launch actually succeeded."

Step 1 of 3

The JD names this directly: partner with data science on instrumentation, metrics and measuring whether a launch actually succeeded. Measurement is part of the build, not a report you write after.

Wire the events when you scope the feature, not after launch. If you ship first and instrument later, your first read on whether the thing worked is a guess and you have already lost the window where the signal is cleanest.

The JD's bar is a feature developers use every day - so rank metrics by how close they sit to that, not by how easily they move.

QA new autocomplete change raises total suggestions accepted by 20%, but average Tab latency rose and undo rate ticked up. Is the launch a success?
