Incident investigation

Build an evidence-backed incident timeline and keep response owners aligned as the situation changes.

Overview

Connect alerts, deployments, tickets, runbooks, and operator actions into a live investigation record. The agent separates observations from hypotheses and routes the next approved diagnostic action. The result is a current investigation brief and coordinated response, ready for the accountable team to review and move forward. By keeping source-backed facts, open questions, and ownership together, the team can make the next decision without rebuilding context by hand.

Capabilities

  • Sequence alerts, changes, tickets, deployments, and human actions with timestamps.

  • Keep observed facts distinct from possible causes and missing evidence.

  • Route decisions, owners, and status updates without taking production authority.
