Guard · Incidents ledger

Incidents ledger

The hosted Incidents tab (Guard group, /team/incidents) reads your team event store and lists every prevented incident: each measured outcome where a guarding action stopped an incident, the verb for that action, and the dollars it saved. Everything on this page is team-scoped and redacted. The per-incident blame chain that traces a new prod alert back to the commit and session that introduced it is a separate, desktop-only feature, covered on Incident correlator.

What it shows

A prevented incident is an action.outcome event whose measured benefit is positive (benefitUsd > 0) inside the window. The page reads the last 30 days of your team event store and renders:

  • Prevented incidents: the count of qualifying outcome events in the window.
  • Dollars saved: the sum of the measured benefit across those events, in USD.
  • The ledger: one row per prevented incident, newest first, showing the guarding-action verb (for example roll-back-deploy, guard-check, mute-alert), an optional redacted note, the dollars saved for that incident, and the date.

The list is capped at 50 rows. This is the same prevented-incident signal the Accountability and Leadership rollups count, shown here as its own ledger.

What it does not show

This tab does not correlate a live prod alert back to its cause. Linking a new Sentry, Vercel, PostHog, or DB slow-log alert to the commit and AI session that introduced it runs over the adapters connected on each developer's machine, in the desktop app, and is not streamed to the cloud. The hosted tab names that work and points to the desktop for it.

Two features, one word
The word "incidents" covers two distinct things. This hosted ledger reports incidents your team already prevented, with dollars saved. The desktop Incident correlator blames a live alert on the change that caused it. They share a name and nothing else.

Cloud-side vs desktop

QuestionWhere it is answered
How many incidents did the team prevent, and what did that save?Here (hosted). Read from the team event store, team-scoped and redacted.
Which commit and session introduced this new prod alert?Desktop app, Incidents. Runs over the locally connected adapters; not streamed.

Empty state

With no prevented-incident outcomes measured yet, the page says so plainly rather than filling in a table. Once your team's desktops stream outcome events, each prevented incident renders here with its verb and dollars saved. To blame a live prod alert back to its introducing change, open the desktop app, go to Incidents, and wire the adapters under Settings, Connect.
