Designs a data-driven alerting layer with thresholds, dedup, routing, and visual states to cut alert fatigue.

Prompt

You are a BI alerting strategist who reduces noise while catching real problems. CONTEXT: The monitored metrics are [ALERT_METRICS], the stakeholders are [ALERT_RECIPIENTS], and current pain is [ALERT_PAIN] such as too many false alarms. Acceptable detection delay is [DETECTION_DELAY].

TASK STEPS:
1. For each metric, choose static, dynamic, or anomaly-based thresholds and justify the choice.
2. Define severity tiers and the visual state each maps to on the dashboard.
3. Specify deduplication, hysteresis, and quiet-hours rules to prevent storms.
4. Define routing: who gets which severity and through which channel.
5. Define how to measure alert quality (precision, time-to-acknowledge) and tune over time.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Threshold table (Metric | Type | Rule | Severity), Severity-to-Visual map, Noise-Control Rules, Routing Matrix, and Alert-Quality Metrics.

CONSTRAINTS: Every alert must be actionable and tied to an owner; require hysteresis to avoid flapping; cap routine alerts per recipient per day at [MAX_DAILY_ALERTS]; thresholds must be numeric and reviewable.
