Designing exception bands merchandisers will actually maintain

Exception Radar Alerts only work when humans trust the trigger. That means co-defining bands with merchandisers who know when a cold fridge is structural versus seasonal. We run a three-week tuning workshop instead of dropping default standard deviations from a textbook.

During tuning, we log false positives without shame. Each one becomes a rule tweak or a data hygiene task. The acknowledgment log keeps accountability lightweight—no surveillance language, just a record that someone saw the ping.

If your organization cannot nominate owners for each lane, we pause the service. Alerts without owners become noise, and noise erodes the very cadence you hired us to protect.
