Why this readiness
A breakdown of what's currently driving the System Health score and the Backup Connectivity Readiness signal.
System Health
Backup Connectivity Readiness
Total penalty applied to a 100-point baseline: 58.
How the score is built
The score starts at 100 and subtracts a penalty from each category below. Every category is capped, so no single category can drop the score on its own — a low score requires multiple things going wrong at once.
Honest caveat: this is a derived heuristic. The categories and their weights are our judgement, not a standard. Caps are applied so a normal day of weather alerts can't tank the score.
Active provider incidents
7 active incidents across connected providers.
Contributing 30 of up to 30 penalty points.
Severe weather
65 active weather alerts from the National Weather Service. Of those, 4 match a known infrastructure dependency (e.g. a hurricane near providers we track) and count at full weight. 61 are in regions with no tracked dependencies and count at a fraction of weight, because they tell us little about the infrastructure we follow.
Contributing 20 of up to 20 penalty points.
Grid stress
Combined stress from the latest readings of each connected grid operator (Mid-Atlantic — PJM, Texas — ERCOT, California — CAISO), plus 0 active grid alerts.
Contributing 0 of up to 25 penalty points.
Utility outages
No significant utility outages reported in the last 6 hours.
Contributing 0 of up to 20 penalty points.
Corroborated correlations
3 total correlations traced right now, of which 1 is corroborated — meaning an upstream stressor and a downstream provider incident are both currently observed.
Contributing 8 of up to 20 penalty points.
Reading this honestly
This is a derived heuristic from public data sources. It is not an official emergency assessment. The score is most useful as a relative signal — comparing now to an hour ago — rather than as an absolute number.
When the score is low, look at the categories above to see what's actually moving it. A real correlated event (a hurricane near telecom infrastructure, multiple cloud providers degrading together) tells you more than the number alone.
