# Alerts & Monitoring

The alert system generates warnings when risk metrics cross defined thresholds.

#### Alert Severity Levels <a href="#id-022c493d-9c51-4275-9180-95c7d0370efe" id="id-022c493d-9c51-4275-9180-95c7d0370efe"></a>

**HIGH** — Protocol risk exceeds acceptable levels, severe portfolio concentration detected, or liquidity constraints identified. These require immediate attention.

**MEDIUM** — Moderate concentration risk detected, or volatility exposure approaching the mandate's risk tolerance limit.

**LOW** — Informational alerts about metrics approaching thresholds. No immediate action required.

Alerts are produced by the Risk Calculator during each evaluation cycle. Alert thresholds adapt based on the active mandate's risk tolerance setting — a defensive mandate triggers alerts at lower thresholds than an aggressive one.

* Review alerts regularly rather than waiting for critical severity
* Treat persistent MEDIUM alerts as signals to adjust the mandate before conditions escalate
* Use alert patterns over time to inform strategy changes
* Combine alerts with Exposure Analysis for full context

Alerts & Monitoring is available from the Holder tier.
