Set up Risk Alerts

Any question you ask on a schedule should be an alert. The rule stays in the Topic, so the alert inherits the same definitions and lineage as a Brief.

Steps

1. 1

   Open the Topic

   Alerts belong to a Decision Topic, so its metrics and scope apply automatically.

2. 2

   Pick the rule

   Choose an existing rule or write one. State a measurable condition with a window, for example two consecutive weeks.

3. 3

   Set the threshold where you would act

   Pick the number that changes behaviour, not the one that looks interesting. Too-tight thresholds get muted.

4. 4

   Choose how you are told

   In-app by default. On Growth and above, add an action trigger to Slack, Teams, email, or a webhook.

5. 5

   Assign an owner

   Every alert needs one person accountable for the response.

6. 6

   Review after two weeks

   If it never fired, loosen it. If it fires constantly, the threshold is not a decision point.
