design-alerts
Designs alerting that pages for real user impact and stays quiet otherwise, using symptoms, error budget burn rates and clear page versus warning rules, tested against past incidents. Use when on-call gets too many pages or misses what matters, when setting alerts for a new SLO or service, or after an incident nobody was paged for. Phrases like "too many alerts", "alert fatigue", "we weren't paged", "what should page", "burn rate alerts".
