How it works
We calculate a risk score
Deviation from expected volume, elevated latency, and error rate each contribute weighted penalties to one risk score.
Get a specific escalation action
Recommendations range from routine monitoring to immediate technical-team alerting and fallback activation.

Frequently asked questions
Does Interface Guard monitor our interfaces in real time?
No. It's a point-in-time scoring calculator — you enter the volume, latency, and error metrics from your existing monitoring or logs, and it computes a risk score from that snapshot. It doesn't connect to any real interface or messaging system.
What counts as an 'expected' message volume baseline?
Whatever your team considers normal for that interface at that time of day — typically a historical average. The score is most useful when compared against a consistent baseline over time.
Can this detect the specific cause of an interface failure?
No. It flags that volume, latency, or error patterns look abnormal so your technical team knows to investigate — it doesn't diagnose root cause or access any system logs directly.
Is this medical, legal, or IT-security advice?
No. Interface Guard is an operational planning aid only. It does not perform real interface monitoring, does not diagnose technical root causes, and does not store or transmit any real patient data — all calculation happens client-side with no backend.
How We Compare
| Feature | MVPHub | Datadog | Rhapsody |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick single-interface risk scoring | Included | Limited | Limited |
