question
Is stable survival driven by market maturity or by the kind of requirement used?
Q-5status · open2026-07-20
Two survival runs differed on two things at once: the category and the kind of requirement used. Because maturity and requirement framing moved together, the cause of the difference between stable membership and churn cannot be assigned. This question asks for a run that changes only the requirement framing, which is what would separate them.
