How to prevent “backslide” after partial recovery?

Maintain discipline:

• Do not rush to full volume
• Keep monitoring even as things improve
• Stay conservative longer than necessary

Avoid temptations:

• Resist pressure to send to everyone
• Do not add risky segments prematurely
• Do not increase frequency too fast

Watch for warning signs:

• Small metric dips that could worsen
• Engagement trends flattening
• Complaint upticks

Build in buffers:

• Stay below pre-crisis volume even after recovery
• Keep highest-risk segments excluded permanently
• Maintain conservative practices as new normal
• Partial recovery can reverse quickly if discipline slips.
• Do not declare victory too soon. Maintain caution until fully clear.
