An early warning system that reaches the right person

Signals are calculated from the data as it is now. When the cause goes away, the signal goes away.

• A milestone is overdue, or its forecast runs behind the plan.
• A budget item is forecast over its plan, or money is invoiced faster than the work progresses.
• An open tender is about to close.
• An active phase has had no fact from site for a week.
• A buyer instalment is overdue.
• Optional: a big transaction, or a transaction without a document number.

Every rule has a default threshold. The owner can change it for the whole company or for one project, switch a rule off, or limit who sees it. Before a change is saved, the preview shows exactly which signals it would raise.

Each signal gets a score from three parts: impact (the share of the phase, or the amount of money involved), urgency (how many days late or how few days are left) and confidence (a fact counts more than an extrapolation). The score gives the level: critical, high, medium or low.

The overview opens with the few signals that need a decision today, three to five, set by the owner. The rest wait in the inbox.

Critical and high signals go by Telegram and email to the roles you choose, only to people who may see that area and that project. A signal nobody has acted on is sent again after a day if critical, after two days if high, and at once if it gets worse.

Anyone who sees a signal can take it with "I am on it", snooze it to a date, or dismiss it with a reason. A taken signal shows who took it; if the cause is still there after seven days, that person gets a reminder.

Every action is kept. The monthly value report counts what was caught, what was put right in time and how long signals waited for a decision.
