Reads KPI tables in Coda, detects values outside expected ranges or missing updates, and prepares an exception report.

How it runs

Multi-agent orchestration — here's the flow, step by step.

01

Call verslay_recall to retrieve stored KPI thresholds, prior exception history, and alert rules from memory. Connect to Coda via the integrated provider to query the KPI tracking table: pull all rows where the current value deviates from target by more than the configured exception threshold. Also pull metric metadata (owner, unit, trend direction, last 4 periods) for each exception. Produce a raw exception dataset as Phase 1 output.

02

Consume Phase 1 exception dataset. Calculate deviation magnitude and direction for each metric, rank exceptions by severity (% off target × business impact weight), and identify whether each exception is a single-period spike or a multi-period trend. Call verslay_chart_create to generate a KPI exception severity bar chart and a trend sparkline grid for the top 5 exceptions. Pass charts and ranked list to Phase 3.

data analyst
02

In parallel with data-analyst, call verslay_news_search on the company's industry and the specific metric domains flagged (e.g., 'SaaS churn spike', 'e-commerce conversion drop') to surface external macro factors that may explain the exceptions. Cross-reference timing of exceptions against industry event calendar. Pass contextual news findings to executive-briefing-writer.

03

Consume Phase 2 ranked exception list. For each HIGH-severity exception, create a follow-up task or update the relevant Coda row with an exception flag and owner action note. Route the exception list to the appropriate team owner based on metric category mapping provided by the user. Return a routing confirmation log.

04

Consume Phase 2 charts and ranked exceptions, Phase 2 news context, and Phase 3 routing log. Write an executive KPI exception brief: summary of exceptions by severity, macro context for top deviations, owner action assignments, and recommended triage priorities. Pass the brief to distributor.

executive briefing writer
05

Receive the executive brief from executive-briefing-writer. Call verslay_memorize to store updated exception thresholds and confirmed ownership mappings in memory. Distribute the formatted KPI exception alert to the configured Slack channel or email. Confirm delivery and log send timestamp.
