How it works

Most alerts tell you something happened. Ours tell you whether it matters to you.

Tell us what kind of business you run, what it runs on and where you work. We do the watching and the translating, and you only hear from us when it's relevant.

01MONITOR

We watch official sources

Vendor status pages, CISA, the National Weather Service, the CPSC and the FDA, checked every 10 minutes.

02VERIFY

Facts, not rumors

Every alert comes from the organization that's responsible, with its link and timestamp attached.

03EXPLAIN

Matched to your business

Plain English: what happened, why it may matter to a business like yours and what to consider doing.

04ALERT

A person approves it

Our team reviews every alert before it goes out by notification or text, so you don't get spam or false alarms.

Card payments failing at a major point-of-sale provider

What happened

The provider reports that some card transactions are being declined and offline mode is not syncing. Engineers are working on a fix.

Why it may matter to you

You run a restaurant on this POS. Card payments may fail during the lunch rush until it's fixed.

What to consider
  • Tell staff before they start rebooting card readers.
  • Put up a "cash or tap-to-pay" sign if you have a backup.
  • No action needed if your readers are working normally.

Every alert reads the same way

Four answers in less than a minute of reading.

01

What happened

Only confirmed facts from the official source. No speculation.

02

Why it may matter to you

The specific reason it reached you: a tool you use, a state you work in, a product you sell.

03

What to consider doing

Practical, proportionate steps, including "no action needed" when that's the honest answer.

04

Severity and confidence, shown separately

A serious rumor is never dressed up as a confirmed event.

Sources

Only the organizations responsible.

We link to them in every alert. We summarize; we never republish their articles. A green light means we are watching that source right now.
