Risk signal classification

Automated classification of every financial signal by severity, domain, and required response time.

Raw signals overwhelm humans. A signal must be classified before it can be responded to. Ring 5 classification assigns each signal a severity, a domain, and a response SLA at the moment of capture.

▸Severity: CRITICAL (respond in hours), HIGH (within 24h), MEDIUM (within a week), LOW (within a quarter).
▸Domain: cost, security, compliance, vendor, data, AI, supply chain.
▸Response SLA in hours, published at capture and tracked in the SLA dashboard.
