    ### 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

    18 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="Error rate above 2%">
        **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Customer experience · **Fix status** Report only

        More than 1 in 50 requests is failing right now. Depending on which endpoints are affected, this can mean pages failing to load, checkout steps failing silently, or background jobs dropping work, and a rate this high is an active problem, not background noise.

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

        Reference: `MONITORING-ERROR-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Apdex score below 0.85">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Customer experience · **Fix status** Report only

        Apdex below 0.85 means a meaningful share of visits are experiencing the site as slow or frustrating rather than satisfying, using the same industry-standard scoring that tells you when performance complaints are about to start, even before anyone files one.

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

        Reference: `MONITORING-APDEX-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Avg response time above 1500ms">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Average response time over 1.5 seconds is well past the point where shoppers notice the delay, and slow response times are a documented driver of higher bounce and lower conversion; this is a revenue issue wearing a performance-metric label.

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

        Reference: `MONITORING-PERF-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Throughput dropped > 30% week-over-week">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        Requests handled dropped more than 30% versus the prior week. This can mean genuinely lower traffic (worth knowing on its own) or it can mean the application is silently failing to serve requests it would otherwise handle, two very different problems that look identical in this one number.

        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 **8 read** and **1 write** operations across alertmanagergrafanaalerts, alertmanagergrafanaalertgroups, dquerys, datasources, incidents, prometheugrafanarules on Grafana. 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.
