Guardrail metric

A guardrail metric is a number that must not get worse while the team works toward a goal, such as a margin floor you set.

It is optional and reported next to the goal, so progress can't hide damage. For example: grow delivered orders while margin stays at or above 30%, or grow a newsletter while the unsubscribe rate stays under a level you set. If the guardrail is at risk, Squad adapts the plan.
