A written SLA
Response and restoration targets by severity, agreed in advance, with the hours we actually staff rather than an aspirational number.
The team that built it also keeps it up.
Software does not stop needing attention at launch. We take the pager for systems we built and, after a review, for systems we did not.
Response and restoration targets by severity, agreed in advance, with the hours we actually staff rather than an aspirational number.
Someone who knows your system by name, with a documented second so a holiday is not an outage.
The failures we can predict get written up and rehearsed while nothing is on fire.
Alerts tuned to symptoms your users feel, routed to on-call. Noisy alerts get fixed or deleted, never muted.
Dependency and platform updates on a schedule, in staging first, with a rollback path. Not a rushed sprint after a CVE lands.
What broke, what we changed, what the cloud cost, and what we recommend next. Two pages, sent whether or not anything went wrong.

Engagement shapes
Agreed hours each month against a written SLA.
Out-of-hours response for named severities.
Paid assessment before we agree to own anything.
Send the architecture, the alerting you have today, and who currently gets woken up. We will come back with what a realistic SLA looks like.
