Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

Service disruption, cause investigation, impact, response and recovery. Incident, problem, security event, defect and task play different roles.

Why it exists Filled

Service disruption, cause investigation, impact, response and recovery. Incident, problem, security event, defect and task play different roles.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • A cause has evidence and confidence
  • Recovery does not close the problem automatically
  • Severity and priority are separate

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

Must not

  • Negative case: Closing an incident deletes an unfinished root cause fix.

Note: Negative case of the research brief, not yet a rule for agents.

Open questions
