 ### Instructor note: Leakage detection exercise
 
 Use `lead_scoring_intro_v6_instructor.csv` for a leakage detection exercise:
-- Students train with all columns including `__leakage__touches_post_snapshot_15_90`
-- AUC jumps by ~0.046 on average
+- Students train with all columns including `__leakage__touches_post_snapshot_21_90`

 - Challenge: identify which column is leaking and explain why
 - The trap is causally grounded (future engagement correlates with conversion via shared latent traits), making it a realistic example of temporal leakage
