SYSE.37:4.1 - Choose the loss and the needed response

Identify the user task and the condition that merits action. Distinguish budget risk, a direct task or integrity failure, and loss of observation. They can have different urgency, evidence and recipients.

Recover the qualified measurement, actual objective and response policy. Determine how much loss may occur before a useful response is no longer possible, including measurement delay, notification, acknowledgement, diagnosis and mitigation time.

Choose an interrupting notification, ordinary work item or observation-only signal according to that response need. Name the actual responsibility and permission. If nobody can receive or perform the response, return that missing capability instead of declaring the alert operational.
