Primes

• Change Notification
  • The salience condition is real too — a platform that marks every trivial change as deprecated trains its developers to ignore warnings, so mature policies grade severity (cosmetic vs. breaking) to keep the consequential notices legible.

    This sourceEmpirically links high alert volume and repeated/undifferentiated alerts to alert fatigue and override — the notification-fatigue failure mode that severity grading is meant to prevent.

Mechanisms

• Frontline Feedback System
  • Collect signal that no one synthesizes and the base becomes a graveyard; flood responders with low-value entries
