Data SLO basics

Hours thresholds you can put in a runbook.

The problem

“Data should be fresh” is not an SLO. Hours, owners, and breach behavior are.

The outcome

Write freshness SLOs as thresholds + severity + owner — then monitor them mechanically.

SLO

Hours to update

Owner

Named human

Breach

Calm alert

What you get

Start with three SLOs

Leadership marts only.

Separate warn vs critical

Give humans a chance before fire.

Review monthly

SLOs rot when meetings change.

Contracts come later

Targets without owners are wallpaper.
