Your question

What do you want to understand?Which result matters?

CHECK 1 / 3

Reconstruct the intended action

Choose one rule version and entity. Record the inputs available at decision time, thresholds and expected action.

Check your interpretation. Current values may differ from the values used when the rule ran.

What should have happened, with which inputs and rule version?Where are you with this check?

If you cannot resolve this check

Recover the historical configuration if the current setup cannot explain the decision.

CHECK 2 / 3

Trace execution and manual changes

Compare rule evaluation, execution logs, platform state and manual overrides in timestamp order.

Check your interpretation. An alert confirms a reported event; it does not necessarily confirm successful platform execution.

Where does expected behaviour first diverge from observed behaviour?Where are you with this check?

If you cannot resolve this check

Mark unknown execution states explicitly when logs or timestamps are missing.

CHECK 3 / 3

Verify the fix against boundary cases

Prepare cases below, at and above the threshold; repeat evaluation and check the resulting state. Assign a verification owner.

Check your interpretation. Manual intervention can hide a recurring bug. Track it separately from automated actions.

Which cases and later rechecks would demonstrate that the fix holds?Where are you with this check?

If you cannot resolve this check

Escalate incomplete logs or repeated discrepancies with the expected/actual trace attached.

What would help you move forward?

You can continue with partial observations. Recording a check does not verify its conclusion.
