Problem

Scenario

You are advising a product growth team that has to decide whether to push harder on short-term pipeline generation or protect long-term efficiency. The team is seeing pressure from leadership to show near-term results, but there is concern that the current motion may be creating lower-quality demand and weaker downstream conversion.

Question

How would you think about the trade-off between short-term pipeline and long-term efficiency?
