Where this fits in the services matrix.

Every service page now names the buyer state, the commercial shape, and the next route. That keeps the catalog navigable instead of feeling like disconnected offers.

00B// system flow

The offer is a route, not a loose task list.

This diagram gives every service page a concrete operating model: intake, system design, implementation, proof, and handoff.

Reliability Retainer moves from fit check to scoped work, then into build/proof/handoff so the buyer can understand how the engagement actually runs.

01// what you walk away with

The outcome, not just the output.

  • 01Alerting that's actionable, not noisy
  • 02Quarterly chaos drills (you stay practiced)
  • 03Monthly reliability scorecard
  • 04Trend on MTTR, error budget, alert fatigue
02// scope

Concrete artifacts you keep — and what we leave out.

Working code, written docs, dashboards your team owns. We also list what this engagement deliberately does not cover, so scope is honest before you click.

// deliverables
  • Monthly alerting hygiene pass (kill noisy, sharpen actionable)
  • Quarterly chaos drill (game day, scenarios, retrospective)
  • Monthly scorecard: MTTR, MTTD, error budget burn, alert volume
  • On-call rotation review every quarter
  • Slack channel for incident questions
// not included
  • 24/7 on-call coverage (you own the rotation; we own the practice)
// track record

Receipts, not promises.

01What's a chaos drill look like?
We pick a realistic failure scenario (DB primary failure, region outage, vendor down), run it in staging, watch your team respond. Output: a retro and 3 action items.
