how could one ever reach a number? because let's say after 7 issues there's a 80% chance they won't reform. so then why 80%?

it's a good chance, don't worry too much about where the line in the sand is drawn. I've seen multiple teams at work also bogged down by this. if there were a name for this phenomenon, I'd love to know



Well 7 and 80 are both mare up numbers. I think details matter and that reality is messy. So I don’t think an arbitrary number that feels good is the right way to go.
