Activate the Live Monitor

Live Monitor turns on automatically 1 hour before the event Start time (T-1h) and stays active through End + 2h. You can also activate manually any time after a successful scan — useful when something develops earlier than expected.

Manual activation: go to /events, find the event card, and click the Live button. Or from a fresh brief, click Activate live monitoring.

The page top shows: event name (H1), venue address, date range, then the eyebrow with a countdown to start/end. Below that, the state pill (Normal / Active Incident) sits on the left of an actions row with Handoff, Settings, and Ask Co-Pilot buttons on the right.

A 6-cell strip under the header tracks where the event sits in its operational lifecycle. Past phases turn dim green; the current phase glows accent blue.

• PRE_EVENT — T-7d → T-24h. Baseline scanning.
• RAMP_UP — T-24h → T-2h. Increased polling cadence.
• DOORS — T-2h → T-30m. Highest sensitivity to movement signals.
• PEAK — T-30m → end. Chatter and incident-response priority.
• EGRESS — end → end + 2h. Crowd-dispersal monitoring.
• POST — end + 2h → end + 24h. Catch any next-day chatter.

The left column is your at-a-glance status:

• Posture score — composite 0-100, color-matched to severity.
• Last poll — relative time of most recent signal fetch.
• Next poll — countdown to the next 15-minute cron tick.
• Active alerts — total fired + how many you haven't acknowledged.
• Tracking — chips for the keywords this monitor is scanning chatter for.

The right column is the alert queue. Each alert links to the originating signal — click to open the detail card and acknowledge it. Acks are per-monitor and shared across operators on the same account, so a handoff doesn't dump a colleague back into a full inbox.
