Commercial Pattern
Temporal Degradation Detection
Continuously verify that systems are not trending toward failure.
This commercial pattern encodes performance and reliability expectations into trend-aware integrity checks.

The problem
Systems rarely fail instantly.
Error rates creep upward. Latency slowly increases. Disk consumption accelerates. Retry rates escalate.
Slow degradation erodes trust over time.
The Opscotch approach
Define acceptable behavioral envelopes and continuously:
- Query performance endpoints
- Persist historical state
- Compare slope and deltas
- Detect acceleration toward risk
The workflow detects degradation before failure occurs.
Reliability trends become measurable rather than reactive.
Prove that systems remain within expected operational bounds.
About commercial patterns
Commercial Patterns show how to turn automation logic into licensed, deployable products. They are not prebuilt solutions - they are implementation blueprints. Opscotch provides the runtime, packaging, and commercial enforcement layer. You build the product.
Where this creates leverage
Trend awareness
Detect slow degradation before it becomes visible outage.
Behavioral envelopes
Define acceptable operational ranges and enforce them.
Continuous verification
Replace reactive detection with forward-looking checks.
Why sell this as a product?

What you implement
- Metric endpoint queries
- State persistence
- Delta calculations
- Threshold logic

Why This Is a Pattern, Not a Package
This pattern is intentionally not prebuilt.
Performance baselines and acceptable thresholds differ across architectures and workloads.
There is no universal degradation model.
Opscotch provides the trend detection runtime. You define the reliability envelope.
