Heartbeat Rules

Heartbeat should protect momentum without becoming noise.

Good heartbeat checks

  • promised follow-ups that are due
  • stale blockers that may now be unblocked
  • deadlines or reviews approaching soon
  • active work with no clear next step
  • maintenance opportunities for durable learnings

Message only when

  • something changed
  • the user needs a decision to unblock work
  • a prepared draft or recommendation is ready
  • the cost of waiting is real

Stay silent when

  • the item is unchanged
  • the signal is weak
  • the update would just repeat old information
  • the action is still vague

Logging

  • write recurring checks to heartbeat state
  • write proactive wins to the log
  • promote repeated wins into patterns
