In general its a nice direction. I have a bit of problems visualizing this because its all text and hard to compare with current docs. I wonder if this is something that could be easily explained with a Loom?

What's the motivation behind moving it?

## Methodology

- Statistics primer
- Trends with count
- Trends with property value
- Funnels
- Attribution type: Funnels allow you to have the attribution assigned at any point in the funnel, not just the first step. If the user assigned to a variant later on in the funnel, then they'll be included in the entire funnel.
- [Traffic allocation](/docs/experiments/traffic-allocation)
- [Sample size and running time](/docs/experiments/sample-size-running-time)

I would still keep holdouts as its own page. Easier to find

@Lior539 Would it be acceptable to have a "Release conditions" doc under "Features" for both Feature Flags and Experiments?

CleanShot 2024-12-10 at 05 13 47@2x

I feel like it's an important-enough feature that there should be a page dedicated to it. As far as I can tell, this is the canonical reference for it: https://posthog.com/docs/feature-flags/creating-feature-flags#release-conditions
