Streamwake vs. telemetry-only workflows
Telemetry can surface a signal. Incident response has to close the loop.
A focused comparison of collecting telemetry and running a documented incident-response workflow from investigation through viewer-level recovery.
Recommended
Streamwake
A seven-stage incident-response workflow.
Telemetry-only workflow
Signals, metrics, and alerts without the response loop.

| Workflow concern | Streamwake | Telemetry-only workflow |
|---|---|---|
| From signal to investigation | ||
| Surfaces signals from telemetry | Consumes the signal as incident evidence | Yes — signals and metrics |
| Investigates the incident behind the signalMoves from an alert or metric to an evidence-led incident investigation. | Yes — Investigate is an explicit stage | Requires a separate operator workflow |
| Carries incident context into a decision | Decide from the documented evidence | The telemetry surface alone does not decide |
| Governed remediation | ||
| Makes approval boundaries explicit | Approve precedes any governed write | Approval is handled outside the telemetry surface |
| Applies governed or approved remediation | Act within the approved scope | Remediation remains a separate action path |
| Preserves an auditable response sequence | Detect → Investigate → Decide → Approve → Act | Signal collection and alert handling |
| Viewer-level recovery and closure | ||
| Checks whether viewers recoveredRecovery is checked at the viewer level before an incident is closed. | Verify viewer-level recovery before closure | A returned signal does not by itself prove viewer recovery |
| Closes the loop with learnings | Learn records the response and next questions | Closure and post-incident learning stay separate |
