Most Runs Should Be Quiet

How we built a two-pass signal scoring system that suppresses 75% of notifications, catches subtle semantic changes, and self-heals when monitors drift — with architecture details, scoring mechanics, and production data from 9,000+ patrol runs.

What a Monitor Actually Does

How we turn a plain-English monitoring intent into an executable workflow graph, run it on a schedule, detect meaningful change via URL set algebra and content hashing, and repair monitors that drift, with architecture details from 12,000+ production monitor runs.
