  Overall attrition rate tells us almost nothing useful. What's a metric that's actually given you an early warning before a team fell apart?

  Used to plan '+15 headcount' for a department. Now we plan specific roles with specific timing. Harder to build upfront, much easier to defend and adjust when the business changes.
