The SLO exists somewhere; a Confluence page, a Google Doc, a Notion page that nobody updates. The Prometheus rules exist somewhere else, written by whoever set up monitoring two years ago and has not been touched since. The Grafana dashboard exists in a third place, manually built, manually maintained, slowly drifting from what the SLO actually says. Nobody owns the connection between these three things, which means over time they stop being connected at all.</description></item></channel></rss>
