What you will be able to do

Promote a Helix adapter to the product when the same change landed at three clients.

The idea

One field delta is a patch. Three similar deltas are a product signal — pull it into the platform.

Stop copy-pasting the same fix across tenants.

if similar_delta_count >= 3: productize()

Repeating field work is unfinished product work.

Key takeaways

  • Count repeating deltas.
  • Productize at three.
  • Retire the forks.
