How Signals Work
A deep dive into the three signal tiers and how to manage them.
April 3, 2026
Signals are alerts your agents create when data or patterns cross a threshold. Tiers help you respond with the right urgency.
Tier 1 in depth
Tier 1 means stop and look. Examples are cash below a buffer, a major customer at risk, or a compliance deadline. Respond the same day.
Tier 2 in depth
Tier 2 means plan a fix this week. Examples are rising costs or slipping conversion. Schedule work before it becomes Tier 1.
Tier 3 in depth
Tier 3 means track over time. Examples are small shifts in web traffic. Review in batch during your weekly planning block.
Step 1: Set notification rules
Decide how you want Tier 1 delivered. Fast delivery matters for true emergencies only.
Step 2: Review Tier 2 on a schedule
Pick a weekly slot so advisory items do not steal focus every hour.
Step 3: Archive noise
If a signal repeats without value, ask the owning agent to tune the threshold.
What happens next
Your feed stays urgent when it must and quiet when it can.
