GLOSSARY TERM
Anomaly Detection
Anomaly detection watches streams (clicks, registrations, deposits, conversion ratios) for statistical deviations, alerting humans to what changed at 3am.

Fraud surfaces (click spikes, conversion-pattern shifts per source), infrastructure surfaces (tracking breakage announces itself as ratio cliffs), and commercial surfaces (a partner’s placement change, a competitor’s exit). Tuning is the craft — seasonality-aware baselines (event days are not anomalies) and severity routing (page on revenue impact, digest on curiosities). Programs running anomaly alerts catch in hours what monthly reviews catch in write-offs; the build cost is embarrassingly small against the first caught incident.
