Current and proposed rule

  • Proposed change: Replay known incidents, tune one alert policy and verify delivery and escalation in a limited rehearsal.
  • Record current behavior, deployed version and manual exceptions.
  • Evaluate the candidate using only information available at each decision time.
  • Specify approval, post-change verification and restore conditions before implementation.

Acceptance checks

  • Noise and missed incidents are measured on labeled replay windows.
  • Delivery, acknowledgement and escalation are exercised with assigned owners.
  • Decision owner, risk budget, guardrails, checkpoint and restore condition are specified.

Deliverables

  • A proposed rule with a decision owner, guardrails and rollback
  • Agreed scope, source requirements, responsibilities and acceptance checks.
  • A working brief for a readiness and delivery conversation, not a completed investigation.
