When to pause instrumentation work

If leadership cannot name the decisions that depend on a new event, shipping it only adds noise. Instrumentation is a cost: storage, QA, privacy review, and cognitive load for everyone reading dashboards.

Pause when the product surface is mid-rebuild, when identity is unstable across web and app, or when the team has no owner for weekly review. Fix ownership and decision cadence first.

Resume when a concrete question repeats in planning: why do invited users not activate, which plans churn after month two, where do Korean mobile sessions fail verification.
