Automatic Trash Deletion

Requirements Clarification & Assessment

1. Objective of Policy Change:

   • Determine the primary goal behind the policy change: Is it to reduce storage costs, enhance system performance, declutter user experience, or a combination?
   • Clarify if the change targets specific user segments or applies universally.

2. Data Availability:

   • Assess the availability of historical data related to trash usage, including recovery rates, storage costs, and user interactions with trashed items.
   • Ensure access to user feedback, support tickets, and any previous user surveys regarding trash folder usage.

3. User Impact:

   • Identify how different user groups (e.g., free vs. premium users) might be affected.
   • Clarify if there will be any communication to users regarding the change and how feedback will be collected.

4. Success Metrics:

   • Define what constitutes a successful outcome: Is it purely financial savings, improved user satisfaction, or reduced support requests?
   • Set clear metrics for evaluation, such as the percentage reduction in storage costs or changes in user engagement.

5. Technical Feasibility:

   • Assess the technical requirements for implementing the policy change, including any necessary updates to the system's backend or user interface.
   • Determine if an A/B testing framework is available to test the change before a full rollout.
