That won't last forever.
It's been a while since I did the research and associated math but IIRC
I believe the flow drops from 50% with X hold backs to 35% with X hold backs then it becomes the lesser of X and 25%
I believe PSA and PDT each get the lesser of X and 25%, which is the same verbiage envoy new hires are under.
PSA's flow is 20 years for a new hire based on math so they're out. That leaves PDT vs Envoy. Based on the size of the pilot group and the Less of X and 25% flow with y opt-outs PDT should flow much faster.
