Best Practices

1. Set specific targets: Narrower = fewer false positives
2. Use appropriate frequency: Daily for high-priority, weekly for others
3. Review regularly: Alerts need human interpretation
4. Adjust filters: Refine based on signal-to-noise
5. Document actions: Track alert-driven decisions
