Nothing tells us when the process has quietly stopped working

A field stops being filled in, a feed breaks, a formula gets overwritten by an innocent edit. Nothing announces any of it. A register that has been blank for three weeks looks exactly like three quiet weeks, and the first anyone learns otherwise is a wrong number in a meeting that mattered.

Processes fail silently because nothing is watching them, and by the time the silence is discovered, the gap has cost data nobody can rebuild. The checks are small - a handful of is-this-still-moving questions asked monthly against each register and feed - but they only help if they actually run, which is what support is for: the checks run for you, and drift caught while it is a fix rather than a rebuild.
