What the lights mean
Green
Green means the function is delivering and needs nothing from you.
Yellow
Yellow means it has drifted far enough that you ask about it.
Red
Red means it needs you now.
The function that turns red is often not the function that broke.
Read separately, three functions are each slightly off. Read together, they point to one cause. The book shows how to read the pattern, where each failure surfaces, and how long it takes to arrive.
