The premise
An anomaly is only useful when someone can understand what changed, where it changed, and what to inspect next.
Working through it
A detection rule should be connected to service context, a time window, a useful baseline, and the relevant logs or traces. Without that path, alerts become interruptions rather than evidence.
Current takeaway
The value is not in flagging every deviation. It is in shortening the path from an unusual signal to a responsible next action.
