## Purpose & Scope

### Core Purpose

Effectiveness Monitor Service is the **intelligent assessment engine** that evaluates the effectiveness of remediation actions using **multi-dimensional analysis**. It serves as the **outcome validator** that:

1. **Assesses** traditional effectiveness (success/failure rate)
2. **Correlates** environmental impact (memory, CPU, network metrics)
3. **Detects** adverse side effects from actions
4. **Analyzes** long-term trends (improving/declining/stable)
5. **Recognizes** patterns in effectiveness (temporal, environmental)
6. **Provides** confidence levels based on data quality

### Why Effectiveness Monitor Exists

**Problem**: Without Effectiveness Monitor, Kubernaut would:
- ❌ Repeat ineffective remediation actions indefinitely
- ❌ Miss adverse side effects (e.g., CPU spike after memory fix)
- ❌ Fail to detect declining action effectiveness over time
- ❌ Lack confidence metrics for AI-driven recommendations
- ❌ Have no historical basis for improvement suggestions

**Solution**: Effectiveness Monitor provides **intelligent outcome analysis** that:
- ✅ Identifies ineffective actions before they waste resources
- ✅ Detects side effects within 10 minutes of action execution
- ✅ Tracks long-term trends (90-day rolling window)
- ✅ Provides confidence-adjusted recommendations (60-95% confidence)
- ✅ Enables continuous learning and improvement

## Architecture Overview

### Service Characteristics

- **Type**: Stateless HTTP API server (Assessment & Analysis)
- **Deployment**: Kubernetes Deployment with horizontal scaling (2-3 replicas)
- **Data Dependencies**: Data Storage (critical), Infrastructure Monitoring (graceful degradation)
- **Integration Pattern**: On-demand assessment → Multi-dimensional evaluation → Result persistence

### V1 Timeline Strategy

| Week | Data Available | Capability | Confidence |
|------|---------------|------------|------------|
| **Week 5** | 0 weeks | `insufficient_data` response only | 20-30% |
| **Week 8** | 3 weeks | Basic effectiveness scoring | 40-50% |
| **Week 10** | 5 weeks | Side effect detection + trend analysis | 60-70% |
| **Week 13+** | 8+ weeks | Full multi-dimensional assessment | 80-95% |

**Week 5 Deployment**: Service is functional but returns `insufficient_data` status with estimated availability date.

**Week 13+ Goal**: Full capability with high-confidence assessments powered by 8+ weeks of historical data.

## Assessment Processing Pipeline

### Step-by-Step Flow

#### 1. **Assessment Request** (API Entry Point)

**From Context API Service**:
```http
GET /api/v1/assess/effectiveness/act-abc123
Authorization: Bearer <k8s-serviceaccount-token>
```

**Request Body** (optional parameters):
```json
{
  "action_id": "act-abc123",
  "wait_for_stabilization": true,
  "assessment_interval": "10m"
}
```

#### 2. **Data Availability Check** (10-20ms)

**Query Data Storage** for oldest remediation action:
```go
func (s *EffectivenessMonitorService) checkDataAvailability(ctx context.Context) (int, bool) {
    oldestAction, err := s.dataStorageClient.GetOldestAction(ctx)
    if err != nil {
        return 0, false
    }

    dataWeeks := int(time.Since(oldestAction.CreatedAt).Hours() / (24 * 7))
    sufficient := dataWeeks >= 8 // 8 weeks minimum

    return dataWeeks, sufficient
}
```

**Week 5 Response** (insufficient data):
```json
{
  "assessment_id": "assess-xyz789",
  "status": "insufficient_data",
  "confidence": 0.25,
  "estimated_availability": "2025-11-19T00:00:00Z",
  "message": "Effectiveness assessment requires 8+ weeks of historical data. Current: 0 weeks."
}
```

**Week 13+ Response** (sufficient data) → Continue to next step.

#### 3. **Action History Retrieval** (50-100ms)

**Query Data Storage** for action history (90-day window):
```go
history, err := s.dataStorageClient.GetActionHistory(ctx, "restart-pod", 90*24*time.Hour)

// Returns:
// [
//   {ActionID: "act-001", Status: "success", ExecutedAt: "2025-08-01T10:00:00Z"},
//   {ActionID: "act-002", Status: "success", ExecutedAt: "2025-08-05T14:30:00Z"},
//   {ActionID: "act-003", Status: "failure", ExecutedAt: "2025-08-10T09:15:00Z"},
//   ...
// ]
```

#### 4. **Traditional Effectiveness Calculation** (5-10ms)

```go
func (c *Calculator) CalculateTraditionalScore(history []ActionHistory) float64 {
    successCount := 0
    for _, h := range history {
        if h.Status == "success" {
            successCount++
        }
    }

    if len(history) == 0 {
        return 0.5 // Neutral score
    }

    return float64(successCount) / float64(len(history))
}

// Example: 87 successes out of 100 actions = 0.87 traditional score
```

#### 5. **Environmental Impact Correlation** (100-200ms, graceful degradation)

**Query Infrastructure Monitoring** for metrics after action execution:
```go
metrics, err := s.infraMonitorClient.GetMetricsAfterAction(ctx, "act-abc123", 10*time.Minute)

// Returns:
// {
//   MemoryImprovement: 0.25,  // 25% memory reduction
//   CPUImpact: -0.05,         // 5% CPU increase (negative = adverse)
//   NetworkStability: 0.92,   // 92% network stability
// }
```

**Graceful Degradation** (if Infrastructure Monitoring unavailable):
```go
if err != nil {
    s.logger.Warn("Failed to retrieve environmental metrics, continuing with basic assessment")
    metrics = &EnvironmentalMetrics{} // Default to zero impact
}
```

#### 6. **Side Effect Detection** (5-10ms)

```go
func (c *Calculator) DetectSideEffects(metrics *EnvironmentalMetrics) (bool, string) {
    // Detect negative side effects
    if metrics.CPUImpact < -0.1 || metrics.NetworkStability < 0.7 {
        if metrics.CPUImpact < -0.3 {
            return true, "high" // High severity: >30% CPU increase
        }
        return true, "low" // Low severity: 10-30% CPU increase or network instability
    }
    return false, "none"
}

// Example: CPUImpact = -0.05 (5% increase) → No side effects detected
```

#### 7. **Trend Analysis** (10-20ms)

```go
func (c *Calculator) AnalyzeTrend(history []ActionHistory) string {
    if len(history) < 10 {
        return "insufficient_data"
    }

    // Compare recent (last 5) vs older (previous 5)
    recent := history[len(history)-5:]
    older := history[len(history)-10 : len(history)-5]

    recentSuccess := c.CalculateTraditionalScore(recent)
    olderSuccess := c.CalculateTraditionalScore(older)

    if recentSuccess > olderSuccess+0.1 {
        return "improving" // 10%+ improvement
    } else if recentSuccess < olderSuccess-0.1 {
        return "declining" // 10%+ decline
    }
    return "stable"
}

// Example: Recent = 0.92, Older = 0.78 → "improving"
```

#### 8. **Pattern Recognition** (20-30ms)

```go
func (c *Calculator) GeneratePatternInsights(history []ActionHistory, action *ActionData) []string {
    insights := []string{}

    // Pattern 1: Environment-specific success rate
    prodSuccessRate := c.getEnvironmentSuccessRate(history, "production")
    if prodSuccessRate > 0.8 {
        insights = append(insights, fmt.Sprintf(
            "Similar actions successful in %.0f%% of production cases", prodSuccessRate*100))
    }

    // Pattern 2: Temporal correlation
    if c.hasBusinessHoursCorrelation(history) {
        insights = append(insights, "Effectiveness 12% lower during business hours")
    }

    return insights
}

// Example output:
// [
//   "Similar actions successful in 87% of production cases",
//   "Effectiveness 12% lower during business hours"
// ]
```

#### 9. **Confidence Calculation** (5ms)

```go
func (c *Calculator) CalculateConfidence(history []ActionHistory, dataWeeks int) float64 {
    baseConfidence := 0.5

    // Increase confidence with more data weeks
    if dataWeeks >= 12 {
        baseConfidence = 0.9
    } else if dataWeeks >= 8 {
        baseConfidence = 0.8
    }

    // Increase confidence with more action history
    if len(history) > 100 {
        baseConfidence += 0.05
    }

    if baseConfidence > 0.95 {
        baseConfidence = 0.95 // Cap at 95%
    }

    return baseConfidence
}

// Example: 10 weeks of data + 120 actions in history = 0.85 confidence
```

#### 10. **Assessment Result Persistence** (50-100ms, best-effort)

**Write to Data Storage**:
```go
assessment := &EffectivenessScore{
    AssessmentID:        "assess-xyz789",
    ActionID:            "act-abc123",
    ActionType:          "restart-pod",
    TraditionalScore:    0.87,
    EnvironmentalImpact: EnvironmentalMetrics{
        MemoryImprovement: 0.25,
        CPUImpact:         -0.05,
        NetworkStability:  0.92,
    },
    Confidence:          0.85,
    Status:              "assessed",
    SideEffectsDetected: false,
    SideEffectSeverity:  "none",
    TrendDirection:      "improving",
    PatternInsights:     []string{
        "Similar actions successful in 87% of production cases",
    },
    AssessedAt:          time.Now(),
}

// Best-effort write (log failure, continue)
if err := s.dataStorageClient.PersistAssessment(ctx, assessment); err != nil {
    s.logger.Error("Failed to persist assessment, continuing", zap.Error(err))
}
```

#### 11. **Response** (HTTP 200 OK)

**Week 13+ Full Assessment Response**:
```json
{
  "assessment_id": "assess-xyz789",
  "action_id": "act-abc123",
  "action_type": "restart-pod",
  "traditional_score": 0.87,

}
```

**Total Latency**: 250-500ms (typical), < 5s p95

## Key Architectural Decisions

### 1. **V1 Graceful Degradation Strategy**

**Decision**: Deploy service in Week 5 with `insufficient_data` responses, gradually enable features as data accumulates.

**Why**:
- ✅ Early deployment validates integration points
- ✅ Monitoring and observability operational from Day 1
- ✅ Smooth transition to full capability (no "big bang" cutover)
- ✅ User expectations set via clear messaging

**Alternative Rejected**: Wait until Week 13 to deploy (delays validation).

---

### 2. **Infrastructure Monitoring is Non-Critical**

**Decision**: Use circuit breaker pattern with graceful degradation for Infrastructure Monitoring Service.

**Why**:
- ✅ Environmental metrics enhance assessments but aren't required
- ✅ Basic effectiveness scoring works without metrics
- ✅ Prevents cascading failures if Infrastructure Monitoring down
- ✅ Degrades user experience gracefully (no assessment failures)

**Implementation**:
```go
metrics, err := circuitBreaker.Call(ctx, func(ctx context.Context) (*EnvironmentalMetrics, error) {
    return s.infraMonitorClient.GetMetricsAfterAction(ctx, actionID, 10*time.Minute)
})
// If circuit open or call fails → return default zero-impact metrics
```

---

### 3. **Data Storage is Critical Dependency**

**Decision**: Fail assessment requests if Data Storage unavailable.

**Why**:
- ✅ Action history is **required** for effectiveness calculation
- ✅ Cannot provide meaningful assessments without historical data
- ✅ Fail-fast prevents misleading results
- ✅ Clear error messaging guides troubleshooting

**Error Response** (Data Storage unavailable):
```json
{
  "error": "data_storage_unavailable",
  "message": "Cannot retrieve action history from Data Storage Service",
  "retry_after": "60s"
}
```

---

### 4. **Assessment Persistence is Best-Effort**

**Decision**: Log error but continue if assessment persistence fails.

**Why**:
- ✅ Assessment result already returned to client
- ✅ Retrying write could cause request timeout
- ✅ Historical assessments are "nice to have" not critical
- ✅ Monitoring alerts on persistence failures

---

### 5. **8-Week Minimum for High Confidence**

**Decision**: Require 8+ weeks of historical data for confidence ≥ 80%.

**Why**:
- ✅ Statistical significance: 8 weeks ≈ 50-200 actions (depending on frequency)
- ✅ Captures seasonal patterns (e.g., business hours vs off-hours)
- ✅ Reduces impact of outliers and anomalies
- ✅ Industry standard for trend analysis

**Confidence Levels**:
- **< 5 weeks**: 30-50% confidence (insufficient data)
- **5-7 weeks**: 50-70% confidence (basic assessment)
- **8-11 weeks**: 70-85% confidence (good assessment)
- **12+ weeks**: 85-95% confidence (excellent assessment)

---

### 6. **Watch RemediationRequest Instead of WorkflowExecution**

**Decision**: EM controller watches RemediationRequest CRD instead of WorkflowExecution CRD.

**Why**:
- ✅ Decouples EM from internal workflow implementation (95% confidence)
- ✅ Future-proof against workflow refactors (92% confidence)
- ✅ Multi-workflow scenarios handled automatically
- ✅ Semantic alignment: Assess "remediation effectiveness" not "workflow execution"
- ✅ API stability: RR is user-facing, stable API vs WE internal implementation

**Implementation**:
- Watch `RemediationRequest.status.overallPhase` for terminal states ("completed", "failed", "timeout")
- All required data available in `RR.status.workflowExecutionStatus` summary
- Can fetch WE details if needed (rare cases)

## V1 Graceful Degradation Strategy

### Deployment Timeline

| Week | Milestone | Capability | User Experience |
|------|-----------|------------|-----------------|
| **Week 5** | Service Deployed | `insufficient_data` responses only | Clear messaging: "Data accumulating, ETA Week 13" |
| **Week 8** | 3 weeks of data | Basic traditional scoring | 40-50% confidence, no trends/patterns |
| **Week 10** | 5 weeks of data | Side effect detection + trends | 60-70% confidence, limited pattern recognition |
| **Week 13** | 8 weeks of data | **Full capability** | 80-95% confidence, complete multi-dimensional assessment |
| **Week 16+** | 11+ weeks of data | Enhanced confidence | 90-95% confidence, mature pattern insights |

## Hybrid Architecture Details

### Decision Logic Implementation

```go
// pkg/monitor/decision_logic.go
package monitor

type EffectivenessMonitorService struct {
    holmesgptClient *HolmesGPTClient
    // ... other clients
}

// shouldCallAI determines if AI analysis adds value beyond automated assessment
func (s *EffectivenessMonitorService) shouldCallAI(
    workflow *WorkflowExecution,
    basicScore float64,
    anomalies []string,
) bool {
    // Trigger 1: P0 failures - Always analyze for learning
    if workflow.Priority == "P0" && !workflow.Success {
        s.metrics.aiTriggerCounter.WithLabelValues("p0_failure").Inc()
        return true
    }

    // Trigger 2: New action types - Build knowledge base
    if workflow.IsNewActionType {
        s.metrics.aiTriggerCounter.WithLabelValues("new_action_type").Inc()
        return true
    }

    // Trigger 3: Anomalies detected - Investigation needed
    if len(anomalies) > 0 {
        s.metrics.aiTriggerCounter.WithLabelValues("anomaly_detected").Inc()
        return true
    }

    // Trigger 4: Oscillation/recurring failures - Pattern analysis
    if workflow.IsRecurringFailure {
        s.metrics.aiTriggerCounter.WithLabelValues("oscillation").Inc()
        return true
    }

    // Default: Routine successes - No AI needed
    s.metrics.aiTriggerCounter.WithLabelValues("routine_skipped").Inc()
    return false
}
```

### Cost Control and Volume Estimates

**Annual Assessment Volume**: 3,650,000 actions/year (~10,000/day)

| Trigger Type | Volume/Day | Volume/Year | AI Calls | Cost/Call | Cost/Year |
|--------------|------------|-------------|----------|-----------|-----------|
| **P0 Failures** | 50 | 18,250 | 18,250 | $0.0387 | $706.28 |
| **New Action Types** | 10 | 3,650 | 3,650 | $0.0387 | $141.26 |
| **Anomalies Detected** | 5 | 1,825 | 1,825 | $0.0387 | $70.63 |
| **Oscillations** | 5 | 1,825 | 1,825 | $0.0387 | $70.63 |
| **Routine Successes** | 10,000 | 3,650,000 | 0 | $0 | $0 |
| **TOTAL** | **10,070** | **3,675,550** | **25,550** | - | **$988.79** |

**Effective AI Usage**: 0.7% of actions analyzed by AI

**Cost Comparison** (Updated with DD-HOLMESGPT-009 token optimization):
- **Always-AI**: 3.65M × $0.0387 = $141,255/year
- **Hybrid**: 25.5K × $0.0387 = $988.79/year
- **Savings**: $140,266/year (99.3% cost reduction)
- **Token Efficiency**: Self-documenting JSON (290 tokens vs 800 verbose)

**Value Delivered**:
- Effectiveness improves from 70% (no AI) to 85-90% (hybrid)
- Critical failures always analyzed for learning
- Routine successes handled efficiently with automation

### Prometheus Metrics for Cost Tracking

```go
// pkg/monitor/metrics.go
package monitor

import "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus"

var (
    // AI trigger tracking
    aiTriggerCounter = prometheus.NewCounterVec(
        prometheus.CounterOpts{
            Name: "effectiveness_ai_trigger_total",
            Help: "Total AI analysis triggers by type",
        },
        []string{"trigger_type"}, // p0_failure, new_action_type, anomaly_detected, oscillation, routine_skipped
    )

    // AI call tracking
    aiCallCounter = prometheus.NewCounterVec(
        prometheus.CounterOpts{
            Name: "effectiveness_ai_calls_total",
            Help: "Total HolmesGPT API calls for post-execution analysis",
        },
        []string{"status"}, // success, failure, timeout
    )

    // Cost tracking (actual token-based)
    aiCostCounter = prometheus.NewCounter(
        prometheus.CounterOpts{
            Name: "effectiveness_ai_cost_total_dollars",
            Help: "Total cost of AI analysis in dollars ($0.0387/call with self-doc JSON)",
        },
    )

    // AI call duration
    aiCallDuration = prometheus.NewHistogram(
        prometheus.HistogramOpts{
            Name: "effectiveness_ai_call_duration_seconds",
            Help: "Duration of HolmesGPT API calls",
            Buckets: []float64{1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60},
        },
    )
)

// Track AI call and cost
func (s *EffectivenessMonitorService) trackAICall(duration float64, success bool) {
    status := "success"
    if !success {
        status = "failure"
    }
    aiCallCounter.WithLabelValues(status).Inc()
    aiCostCounter.Add(0.0387) // $0.0387 per call (self-doc JSON)
    aiCallDuration.Observe(duration)
}
```

**Monitoring Queries**:

```promql
# Daily AI analysis cost
sum(increase(effectiveness_ai_cost_total_dollars[24h]))

# AI trigger breakdown (last 7 days)
sum by (trigger_type) (increase(effectiveness_ai_trigger_total[7d]))

# AI call success rate
rate(effectiveness_ai_calls_total{status="success"}[24h])
/
rate(effectiveness_ai_calls_total[24h])

# Average AI call duration (p95)
histogram_quantile(0.95, effectiveness_ai_call_duration_seconds_bucket)
```

## Business Requirements Mapping

| Business Requirement | Implementation | Validation |
|---------------------|----------------|------------|
| **BR-INS-001**: Traditional effectiveness assessment | `CalculateTraditionalScore()` | Unit test: success rate calculation |
| **BR-INS-002**: Environmental impact correlation | `GetMetricsAfterAction()` | Integration test: Infrastructure Monitoring query |
| **BR-INS-003**: Long-term trend detection | `AnalyzeTrend()` | Unit test: improving/declining/stable detection |
| **BR-INS-005**: Side effect detection | `DetectSideEffects()` | Unit test: CPU/memory/network severity classification |
| **BR-INS-006**: Advanced pattern recognition | `GeneratePatternInsights()` | Unit test: temporal & environmental patterns |
| **BR-INS-008**: Confidence-adjusted scoring | `CalculateConfidence()` | Unit test: confidence levels by data availability |
| **BR-INS-010**: Multi-dimensional assessment | `AssessEffectiveness()` | E2E test: complete assessment workflow |

**BR Range Allocation**:
- **V1.0 Scope (Level 1)**: BR-INS-001, BR-INS-002, BR-INS-005 (Automated assessment: dual spec hash, health checks, metrics, alert resolution, formula-based scoring, side-effect detection)
- **V1.1 Scope (Level 2)**: BR-INS-003, BR-INS-004, BR-INS-006 to BR-INS-010 (AI-powered analysis: HolmesGPT PostExec, pattern learning, batch processing)
- **Reserved for V2**: BR-INS-011 to BR-INS-100 (Multi-cloud support: AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Datadog, GCP Monitoring; Advanced ML-based effectiveness prediction)

**Rationale for Limited V1 Scope**: Per DD-017 v2.0, Level 1 (V1.0) provides Day-1 value with no data dependency. Level 2 (V1.1) requires 8+ weeks of Level 1 assessment data for high-confidence AI analysis. V2 will expand to multi-cloud observability sources and ML-based prediction models.
