Break it before it breaks you
Inject lag, drops, and duplication into your telemetry and event streams to reveal the real blast radius of failure. Observe where backpressure builds, which consumers panic, and where silent data loss hides. Synthetic chaos on pipelines is cheaper than live incidents.
Score recovery against continuity targets
Measure time to detect, mitigate, and restore against the business continuity requirements. Use those numbers to prioritize engineering debt, buffering strategies, and alternative paths. Recovery metrics grounded in business impact win funding; anecdotes do not.
Instrument for root-cause speed
AI-ready data practices—lineage, quality checks, semantics—shorten root-cause analysis. When every record carries provenance and quality signals, teams can isolate issues quickly and restore service without guesswork. Observability is the antidote to firefighting.
sys3(a)i POV: We approach critical systems work by stress-testing architectures, integrating observability and governance from day one, and designing sovereign or edge footprints where independence and continuity matter most.
