PROJECT UPDATE
What changed
The emails are becoming the annoying part now.
The system is checking correctly, but I don’t need a message every time it runs just to tell me nothing changed. At that point I’m still spending attention on something that doesn’t matter.
Changed that today.
Routine checks can happen in the background. I only want an email when the data changes in a way that actually needs my attention.
I’m keeping one weekly summary for now.
That’s mostly for my own comfort. It gives me a way to confirm the checks are still running, see whether anything was discovered, and catch an error if one happens.
This feels a lot closer to what I wanted in the first place.
The system does the checking. I deal with the exceptions.
Evidence
- Routine successful checks no longer generate individual emails.
- Alerts are now tied to meaningful changes in the data.
- A weekly summary remains in place as a safety check.
- The weekly summary confirms completed checks, discoveries, and errors.
