Impact Reports

An Impact Report is a weekly, personal account of what your shipped work did in production, harvested from your Change Monitor results. Each week Firetiger reviews the changes you shipped — what landed safely, what’s still being watched, what surfaced an issue — leads with the most meaningful win, and delivers the result to you as a Slack DM.

Use this when you want a lightweight record of production impact — for yourself, for standups, or for the “what did I actually ship?” question — without assembling it by hand.

Who gets one

Impact Reports are on by default for every engineer with a change monitor. Concretely, a report is generated for you when:

• you authored a PR that Change Monitor watched through to production (the PR merged and its monitoring plan deployed), and
• your GitHub identity is linked to your Firetiger account — that’s how Firetiger matches PRs to you. Link it at Change Monitor settings.

There’s no setup beyond Change Monitor itself: if you shipped monitored changes this week, you get a report.

What’s in a report

• The lead win — the change with the clearest production impact, with a before/after one-liner.
• The week’s numbers — changes monitored, landed safely, still being watched, and issues detected.
• Supporting wins beyond the lead.
• A link to the full report in Firetiger.

Reports are composed by an agent from your actual Change Monitor results — deployment checks, confirmed effects, and detected issues — not from commit counts or diff sizes.

Where to find them

• Slack DM — generated every Friday covering the past week; the DM lands once the report is ready, provided your Change Monitor Slack DMs are verified.
• Firetiger UI — the Impact Reports tab under Change Monitor lists every report generated for you.

Turning the Slack DMs off

The weekly report DM is opt-out, per user:

• Open Change Monitor settings → Notifications and switch Send me a weekly Impact Report by Slack DM off. Only affects your account.

Opting out stops Firetiger delivering your weekly report; it is still generated and visible in the Impact Reports tab. Switch delivery back on any time; DMs resume the following Friday.

To opt out programmatically, set slack_enabled: false via UpdateMyImpactReportNotificationPreference.

Opting out only affects your weekly Impact Report delivery. It doesn’t change Change Monitor coverage of your PRs or your Change Monitor Slack DM notification settings.
