# 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.

#### How Alerts Are Generated <a href="#id-2f74a9c8-40d9-40de-a69f-1f3b0a8940aa" id="id-2f74a9c8-40d9-40de-a69f-1f3b0a8940aa"></a>

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.
