Incident Command Center
Stop running incidents out of Slack threads and spreadsheets.
What changes when you build this
The gaps you're living with today,
and what this tool fixes.
Problems
- Incident status lives across PagerDuty, Slack, and a shared doc — responders waste 10+ minutes finding the current state
- No single person is clearly assigned as incident commander, so decisions stall and updates go nowhere
- Affected services and their dependencies aren't visible during the incident, leading to missed blast radius
- Escalations happen over DMs instead of defined thresholds, so the right people join 20-30 minutes late
- Postmortems take a week to assemble because the timeline is scattered across 4+ tools
Solutions
- One live dashboard shows every active incident with severity, status, commander, and affected services in real time
- Commander assignment is explicit and required — no incident moves to "investigating" without an owner
- Service dependency map surfaces blast radius automatically when an affected service is tagged
- Escalation rules fire based on severity and duration, pulling in the right responders without manual paging
- Every status change, assignment, and note is captured in an audit timeline, so the postmortem writes itself

Mistakes to avoid
These are the failure patterns teams hit most often
when building this.
No assigned incident commanderFix: Require a commander field before an incident can move past 'Detected' status.

Stale incident statusFix: Auto-flag incidents with no status update in the last 15 minutes during active hours.

Fix:Auto-flag incidents with no status update in the last 15 minutes during active hours.
Severity inflationFix: Define severity levels with concrete criteria — user-facing impact, blast radius, revenue effect — and enforce them in the enum.

Postmortem data gapsFix: Log every status change, assignment, and note to an append-only audit timeline automatically.

Alert fatigue from low-severity noiseFix: Route P3 and below to a queue instead of paging, so responders only get woken up for real emergencies.
