Measure webhook reliability's effect on feature adoption
A correlation can point toward a useful product question without naming the right outcome.
Delivery quality and integration maturity can resemble one another when the available signals are incomplete.

What pulls against what
- delivery reliability vs. integration maturity
- fast directional insight vs. interpretable evidence
- broad telemetry vs. meaningful merchant context
- infrastructure investment vs. developer workflow understanding
What is at stake
A promising correlation could justify the wrong investment if the data cannot separate delivery quality from integration maturity. The first task is choosing a testable outcome, not prematurely optimizing a dashboard
Why Stripe
At Stripe, developer integrations can make small differences in operational signals meaningful over time.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
