The picture no one else is watching
Verified monitoring
Name the projects you care about. Cairnel monitors each source on its disclosed cadence and alerts subscribers when a relevant change is detected and verified. Queue movements, capacity changes, company events and scoped planning evidence are tracked and verified before they reach you.
Verified alerts
When something changes, you receive an alert when the change is detected and verified. Every finding carries an evidence trail with the date it was collected. You see exactly what changed, when it changed, and where the evidence sits.
Four evidence states
Cairnel distinguishes four states — never combines them. Confirmed change: evidence supports a material change. No matching evidence: covered sources were checked, nothing found. Coverage gap: a required source was not available. Conflict: relevant records disagree. Absence is never an adverse judgement.

What changed this week
A structured summary of changes across all your watchlist projects — connection queue movements, company events, planning decisions. One email per week, every project in scope, whether or not anything moved.
When a change is detected
When a project on your watchlist changes — a gate advance, a company event, a planning decision — you receive an alert after the finding is verified. Every alert includes the evidence trail and the date it was collected.
Silence means we checked
When nothing material changes, you still hear from us. A weekly confirmation that every project on your watchlist was checked and nothing moved. You are never left wondering whether we looked.
