Why it matters
Without alerts, you learn about incidents from clients or churn. Every hour of blind spot costs money, reputation, and a burned-out team. You pay for a loop that cuts MTTD and MTTR — not for a pretty report after the fact.
Alerts, runbooks, escalation and postmortems — so an incident is a process, not a Friday-night client call.

In this engagement:
We assess maturity and failure points → stand up a minimal alert loop and escalation channel → drill the response on a staged or recent case → expand coverage and tighten runbooks. Scope, mode (business hours / on-call), and timeline lock after the infra review.
We start with sources and critical scenarios, then ship the first alert layer and escalation channel. Timeline depends on stack, access, and what monitoring already exists — locked after the initial review, no blanket «one week for everyone» promises.
Number of systems, signal depth, runbook count, and response mode: business hours, extended window, or on-call. After a short review we give a range and phases — what’s in the first iteration vs. later expansion. Numbers follow infra facts, not a guess.
