Security · Availability

A number is worthless without its definition.

Most availability claims do not say what counts as down. Ours does, because an operator planning a Saturday-night registration peak needs the definition more than the digit.

What the number means

Scope
The decision API

Opening checks, retrieving state and receiving verdicts. Measured separately from the capture upload path.

Unavailable
Error rate above 1% in a 5-minute window

Measured from our edge, with the windows published rather than summarised into a monthly figure after the fact.

Excluded
Your endpoint being down

A webhook that cannot be delivered is a retry and then a journal entry, not an outage of ours.

Source failure
Routed around, or reported

Where a fallback source exists the routing uses it. Where none exists, the check reports that the signal could not be obtained — it never silently passes.
