When is usage not a growth loop?
| Observed pattern | Missing object | Correct disposition |
|---|---|---|
| Many events from one user | Account-level qualification and buying context | Keep as product signal |
| Threshold crossed, no owner | Transfer and acceptance rule | Hold the handoff |
| Seller accepts, no next product state | Feedback or outcome link | Report as accepted handoff |
| One campaign creates referrals | Repeatable next entry | Label as campaign result, not loop |
| Usage falls after a security review | Constraint and lifecycle stage | Preserve the interruption |
