Every data asset in AnomalyArmor earns a coverage score based on the monitoring you have configured. The score maps to a tier that tells you, at a glance, how well-protected your data is.

​
The Four Tiers

TierScoreWhat You CatchWhat Can Still Surprise You
Monitored10-29Schema changes that break pipelinesData going stale, values going wrong, volume drops
Protected30-49Pipeline failures, data disappearing, schema breaksSubtle quality issues, slow degradation
Verified50-69All of the above, plus stale data and value corruptionEdge cases in complex transformations
Intelligent70+All of the above, plus AI-powered anomaly detection and proactive alertsVery little. You have full coverage across all six monitoring features.
Assets scoring below 10 show as Not monitored with a prompt to set up basic monitoring.

​
What Goes Into Each Tier

​
Monitored (entry level, any plan)

  • Schema drift monitoring enabled on the asset
  • At least one alert destination configured (Slack, email, webhook)
  • Discovery has been run (you know what tables you have)
Customer value: “I’ll know when my upstream sources change before it breaks my pipelines.”

​
Protected (standard monitoring)

  • Everything in Monitored
  • Row count metrics on important tables (detects data loss, duplicates, empty loads)
  • Alert rules routing anomalies to your team
Customer value: “I’ll know when data stops flowing or volumes look wrong. My team gets notified.”

​
Verified (strong monitoring)

  • Everything in Protected
  • Freshness monitoring on actively-updated tables (auto-learn mode)
  • Validity rules on critical columns (null checks, format validation, range bounds)
  • AI knowledge base generated for the asset
Customer value: “I validate data quality, not just availability. I catch bad data before it reaches dashboards.”

​
Intelligent (top tier)

  • Everything in Verified
  • All coverage features above 70%
  • Alert routing verified (rules have destinations)
  • Daily briefing active
Customer value: “Full observability with AI-powered analysis. Anomalies are automatically investigated. I get proactive guidance.”

​
Where You See Your Tier

  • Asset cards in the asset list (small badge with tier name)
  • Asset detail page header (full badge with score and breakdown)
  • Daily briefing header per asset
  • Homepage dashboard (lowest-tier asset highlighted for attention)
  • Agent conversations (“BalloonBazaar is at Verified tier, score 58”)

​
Best Practices

  • Aim for Verified on production assets that feed dashboards and reports
  • Protected is a solid baseline for all actively-used databases
  • Monitored is appropriate for staging environments and development databases
  • Review coverage quarterly as your data landscape changes

Common Questions

​
What’s the difference between Monitored, Protected, Verified, and Intelligent?

Each tier adds a layer of coverage. Monitored catches schema changes, Protected adds row-count anomaly detection, Verified adds freshness and validity checks, and Intelligent adds AI-powered anomaly detection and daily briefings. See The Four Tiers.

​
What tier should a production table be at?

Aim for Verified (50+) on production assets that feed dashboards and reports. Protected is a reasonable baseline for all actively-used databases. Monitored is fine for staging and development. See Best Practices.

​
Why is my asset showing ‘Not monitored’?

Assets below score 10 show as Not monitored: discovery hasn’t run, schema drift isn’t enabled, or there’s no alert destination configured. Enable schema monitoring and connect a destination and you’ll clear the threshold.

​
Where can I see an asset’s tier?

Tiers show up as badges on asset cards in the asset list, on the asset detail page header, on the homepage dashboard (lowest-tier asset is highlighted), in daily briefings, and in agent replies.
