Runway Feed Freshness Guard with PagerDuty Escalation

Before the nightly runway recompute runs, verifies that the bank, Stripe, and warehouse feeds are fresh; if any feed is stale or missing, it escalates to PagerDuty so the runway…

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerSchedule before nightly recompute

  • LogicCompare each feed against freshness window
  • OutputOpen PagerDuty incident if any feed is stalePagerDutyPagerDuty

What it does

Guards the integrity of the runway calculation itself. It checks that every input feed — bank balance, Stripe billing, and the BigQuery expense tables — has updated within an expected window, and escalates loudly if any source is stale so leadership never acts on a number built from yesterday's data.

When to use it

Use it when a quiet runway dashboard is dangerous because a broken feed makes runway look healthier than it is. This catches the silent-failure case the alerting flows can't see on their own.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires shortly before the nightly recompute window.
  2. 2Probes Stripe for the timestamp of the most recent settled charge or payout.
  3. 3Queries BigQuery for the last-updated timestamps on the cash and expense tables.
  4. 4A logic step compares each feed's freshness against its expected update window.
  5. 5If all feeds are fresh, the run passes and the recompute proceeds.
  6. 6If any feed is stale or missing, it opens a PagerDuty incident tagged to the finance on-call so the gap is fixed before runway is trusted.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect StripeCustomers, subscriptions, payments.
  2. 2
    Connect BigQueryDatasets, queries, schemas.
  3. 3
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
