    ### From connection to verified outcome

    The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Connect">
        Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Monitor">
        Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Detect">
        Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Recommend">
        Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Approve">
        You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Execute">
        Apply through governed connector operations.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify">
        Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls.

    ### Monitor performance

    11 performance signals. Open an outcome to see its signals and how each one alerts. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system.

    ### Audit risks and opportunities

    A fix status appears only where the action, inputs, approval, verification and recovery controls are mapped. Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Data-source API token invalid or access revoked">
        **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Control risk and change · **Fix status** Report only

        Once this token fails, VortexIQ stops pulling data from this source entirely, and every card and finding built on it goes stale from that moment, silently, until someone notices the numbers stopped updating.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `BYO-AUTH-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Source not updated in over 24h (stale data)">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        A source that has not updated in over a day means every conclusion drawn from it describes yesterday; the staleness is invisible unless surfaced.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `BYO-FRESH-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Required-field empty rate above 15%">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Catalogue quality · **Fix status** Report only

        When required fields are empty in more than 15 percent of rows, every downstream calculation inherits the gaps and quietly under-reports.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

    #### Build your own automated fixes

    Turn any finding into an automated fix with a Vortex IQ workflow: **over 13,000 read and write operations across more than 200 connectors** are available as building blocks, with approval, verification and rollback on every change.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Automate">
    ### Automate approved work

    Vortex IQ is integrated with **4 read** and **2 write** operations across tableornames, metabas, metabastables, metawhoamis on Airtable. Combine them with anything from the **over 13,000 operations across more than 200 connectors** to automate the work in your own words.

    Changes follow your configured approval policy: the target, proposed change, affected records, risk, reversibility and verification plan are shown before execution.
