Runtime Alignment Monitor Operations Runbook

Runtime SLOs

• P95 analyze latency: 900ms or less.
• Critical risk event delivery: under 10s end-to-end.
• Intervention logging completeness: 99% or higher.

Alert Conditions

1. critical recommendation count spike over baseline.
2. drift score sudden drop across agent cohort.
3. intervention latency above policy window.

Incident Response Matrix

Recommendation	Immediate Action
review	Route to on-call analyst queue.
degrade	Limit agent capabilities, increase sampling.
block	Halt execution path and require explicit approval.

Daily Operator Checklist

• Review top risk-elevated events and resolution status.
• Confirm no stuck intervention events.
• Validate recommendation-to-action latency.
• Audit policy changes affecting decision thresholds.
