Decision signals

Monitor alert

Manual review required before cleanup. Service had a recent Datadog alert.

High latency

Low CPU does not mean safe. Latency signal exists.

High error rate

Do not downsize until error rate is reviewed.

AWS low CPU + Datadog alert conflict

Do not treat low AWS CPU as cleanup-safe when reliability signal exists.

Site selector
