Morning sweep window
6:30-10:30a

All daily check-ins are expected to enter a sent or delivered state before the close of the morning sweep.

Escalation SLO
< 12 min

High-risk incidents are acknowledged inside twelve minutes, with automatic secondary routing at the six-minute mark.

Weekend on-call pool
14 people

A rotating blend of technical support, care coordinators, and senior responders cover nights and weekends.

Coverage confidence
97.8%

Every protected member should have at least one validated primary contact and one documented fallback.

Operational briefing

The context operators need before making manual decisions.

Morning operations flow

The command desk begins with outbound delivery health, then checks missed-response clusters, then validates whether guardian acknowledgement times remain inside policy by geography and risk level.

Incident ownership model

Each live incident has one primary owner, one secondary reviewer, and a closing note requirement so unresolved work never hides in a raw event stream.

Field escalation doctrine

Volunteer, neighbor, and family escalation trees are sequenced by reliability, proximity, and time sensitivity rather than by who was added first to the account.

Operator checklist

Core reviews to complete during steady-state operation.

Review the unreplied check-in queue by severity, age, and local time zone.
Confirm guardian call trees for every member who has a stale primary contact record.
Inspect unresolved incidents that have passed one routing cycle without a human acknowledgement.
Validate that nightly escalation materialization completed before the first outbound run.
Document any manual interventions that changed queue order, guardian ownership, or support priority.

Initiatives and ownership

Current operating priorities with named ownership and review rhythm.

Response posture calibration

Tune escalation thresholds weekly using missed-check-in patterns, false-positive ratios, and caregiver feedback to reduce alert fatigue without lowering safety.

Reference material

Documentation designed to answer follow-up questions without leaving this section.

Severity ladder

Defines how missed check-ins move from watch to urgent, what evidence is required for an upgrade, and which roles can clear or downgrade an incident.

Guardian acknowledgement playbook

Covers the expected attempt pattern for SMS, voice, and manual outreach when a guardian is unresponsive or unreachable.

Recovery after provider interruption

Documents how to pause dispatch, backfill stale work, and prevent duplicate member contact after a Twilio or cron disruption.
