Why the analytics invoice climbs with the one number a team is trying to make go up

A product team sits in a planning meeting deciding what to instrument in the next release. Someone proposes tracking a new set of events around the onboarding flow — the messy middle where users quietly give up. It is exactly the part of the product no one understands well. And then the question turns, as it always does, to what it will cost: another stream of events, another climb up the pricing tier, a bigger bill next quarter for the privilege of watching the product more closely. The team does the rational thing. It trims the list. The events that survive are the ones that justify a line item, not the ones that answer a question. The onboarding flow stays dark for another release, and the decision to keep it dark never gets written down anywhere — it just happens, quietly, in a budget conversation.
