1

Run asset discovery

Go to your asset page and click Discover Schema. This scans your database for all schemas, tables, and columns.
2

Enable schema drift monitoring

On the asset page, click Enable Schema Monitoring. This detects column additions, removals, and type changes automatically.

Set up an alert destination

Go to Alerts > Destinations and connect Slack, email, or a webhook so you get notified about changes.
What you gain: You’ll know when upstream sources change their schema before it breaks your pipelines.

​
Monitored to Protected (score 30+)

Time: About 2 minutes
1

Add row count metrics to key tables

Go to Data Quality > Metrics and create row count metrics on your most important tables. AnomalyArmor uses ML to detect when counts deviate from normal patterns.
2

Create alert rules

Go to Alerts > Rules and create rules that route anomaly alerts to your team’s Slack channel or email.
Or use the agent: Tell the AnomalyArmor agent “set up Protected-level monitoring for my database” and it will handle the setup for you. What you gain: You’ll catch data loss, duplicate loads, and empty pipelines. Your team gets notified automatically.

​
Protected to Verified (score 50+)

Time: About 5 minutes
1

Add freshness monitoring

Go to Data Quality > Freshness and set up schedules for tables that update regularly. Use auto-learn mode to let AnomalyArmor determine normal update patterns.
2

Add validity rules on critical columns

Go to Data Quality > Metrics and create validity rules. Start with null checks on required columns, then add format validation (email, phone) and range bounds (price > 0).
3

Generate AI knowledge base

Go to Intelligence and click Generate Intelligence. This creates an AI-powered knowledge base about your data asset.
What you gain: You validate data quality, not just availability. You catch bad data before it reaches dashboards.

​
Verified to Intelligent (score 70+)

Time: About 5 minutes
1

Fill remaining coverage gaps

Check your coverage breakdown on the asset page. Bring each feature above 70% coverage. Focus on features with the largest gaps first.
2

Verify alert routing

Ensure all alert rules have at least one destination linked. Unrouted rules mean anomalies go unnoticed.
3

Enable daily briefings

Daily briefings are automatically generated once you have sufficient monitoring. Check your homepage for the briefing card.
What you gain: Full observability with AI-powered anomaly detection. Proactive alerts and daily briefings keep you ahead of data issues.

​
Using the Agent for Setup

The AnomalyArmor agent can handle tier upgrades conversationally: 
You: "What tier is my production database at?"

Agent: "Your Production DB is at Protected tier (score 42/100).
  Schema Drift: 100% (25/25 pts)
  Freshness: 0% (0/25 pts)
  Metrics: 40% (8/20 pts)
  To reach Verified (50+), add freshness monitoring to 8 tables.
  Want me to set that up?"

You: "Yes, set up freshness monitoring."

Agent: "Done. Created 8 freshness schedules using auto-learn mode.
  Your score is now 54 - you've reached Verified tier."

Tips

  • Start with the highest-impact feature. The coverage breakdown shows which feature contributes the most points. Focus there first.
  • Use recommendations. The asset page shows specific recommendations for improving your score, with one-click setup buttons.
  • Batch setup is fastest. Use the “Apply All Recommendations” button or ask the agent to handle everything at once.
