holdback-experiment-design
Design degradation holdbacks and long-term cumulative holdbacks for product experiments and feature rollouts. Use when a team needs a long-term counterfactual, wants to measure delayed impact after launch, is worried about metric degradation over time, needs to decide holdback size or duration, or must weigh the user/business cost of withholding a feature.

# Holdback Experiment Design
Use this skill to plan holdbacks that preserve a comparison group after a
feature rollout. Holdbacks are useful when effects may appear later, accumulate,
or degrade after launch.
