“Complete” Means Healthy
Treating a successful status as the only health signal hides stale data, runtime regression and partial business failure.

Evidence tier describes my hands-on relationship with the content. Official sources describe platform contracts/documentation. Production observations should not automatically be treated as official limits.
Problem
An automation can complete while producing zero rows, old data, suspicious volume or a runtime that is rapidly approaching the next schedule window.
Approach
Monitor outcome plus freshness, row-count range, duration trend and critical downstream evidence.
More telemetry to maintain
