Spot database problems automatically and alert your team in Slack

Scans your database every few hours for errors and sends a Slack alert with suggested fixes before problems spread.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Bad data can quietly break your reports and dashboards for days before anyone notices. You end up firefighting after a client or team member spots something wrong, instead of catching it early.

Who it fits

Ideal for teams that rely on a database to power their reporting, analytics, or customer-facing app.

How it works

  1. Runs on a set schedule to check your database automatically
  2. Compares current data to historical patterns
  3. Flags missing values, unexpected changes, and unusual data
  4. Scores each issue by severity and suggests a fix
  5. Sends a Slack alert your team can act on right away
What you get

Data problems flagged before customers notice

You get a Slack alert the moment your database data looks off, with a suggested fix ready to review.

What you get

A Slack alert describing exactly what changed in the database and a suggested fix.

What you need

A PostgreSQL database and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
