Problem

Scenario

You have just shipped a product release in an enterprise software workflow, and a key business metric drops shortly after launch. The team needs to determine whether the decline came from a tracking issue, a behavior change, or a specific part of the user journey that regressed. You are expected to break the metric into its components, compare pre and post release behavior, and isolate the root issue quickly.

Question

If a key metric drops after a release, how would you diagnose the cause and isolate the root issue?
