 ### Cadence
 
-**When to deploy:** ✅
-- Typically we do a full deploy twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
-
-**When _not_ to deploy:** ❌
-- We try to avoid deploying on Fridays, to minimize the chances of introducing a
-  bug and having to scramble to fix it before the weekend
-- When the deploy falls on a holiday, or any other time when many team members are on vacation, such
-  as New Years / end of year.
+- Most weeks, we plan to do a full deploy on Tuesday and Thursday.
+- We are able to deploy at any time, but off-cycle deploys should be communicated with on-callers if possible
+- We default to not deploying if we expect most of the team will be out on the day(s) following. Some examples are:
+   - Fridays
+   - Before a holiday
+   - Before a large part of the team is expected to be on leave
