Steps

1Pull override rates and documented reasons per alert type
2Rank alerts by override rate × potential harm if heeded
3Retire or narrow firing conditions of alerts overridden >90% safely
4A/B tiered severity: interruptive only where harm is real

Common Pitfalls

▲Adding new alerts without retiring any, ever
▲Interruptive warnings for documentation minutiae
