Architecture case-study blueprint: no deployment results, customer endorsement, or measured improvements are claimed.

Data and operating scope

Version topology, collect time-aligned alarms, and distinguish observed faults from inferred service impact.

Deterministic solution

Group alarms with approved windows, route by service ownership, and run authorized health checks.

Agentic solution

Propose dependency-based impact hypotheses and identify evidence needed to confirm them.

Acceptance evidence

Alarm timeline, topology provenance, confirmed versus suspected impact, and operator-approved response.

Decision boundary

A plausible root-cause hypothesis is not a confirmed diagnosis. Production changes require explicit authority, bounded actions, tested rollback, and accountable operators.
