ONE JOB. DONE PROPERLY.

The problem

## Automation logs prove attempts. You need proof of results.

A scheduler can fire while a post never publishes, an email never hands off, an order never appears, or an integration quietly stalls. Outcome Watchdog measures the expected result inside a fixed time window and records what actually happened.

What it does

## Focused. Not bloated.

Six practical capabilities, organized around the one job this plugin is meant to do.

01
### Six outcome sources

Monitor published posts, email handoffs, WooCommerce orders, Action Scheduler jobs, named hooks, or custom heartbeats.

02
### Fixed windows

Set the expected count, recurring window, and grace period for late work.

03
### Failure + recovery alerts

Send email or JSON webhook notifications when a monitor fails and when it later recovers.

04
### Safe retry requests

Trigger a namespaced action or outbound webhook while the connected workflow retains control of limits and locking.

05
### History + health

Review dashboard status, manual checks, event history, Site Health integration, and retention controls.

06
### Integration options

Report custom outcomes through PHP, WP-CLI, a WordPress action, or a token-authenticated REST heartbeat.

How it works

## A controlled path from evidence to action.

- 01 Choose the real-world result, expected count, window, grace period, and evidence source.

- 02 Count qualifying outcomes while the monitoring window is open.

- 03 Classify the completed window after its grace period.

- 04 Alert on failure and confirm recovery with a later completed window.

The boundary

## Evidence strength is explained.

An email handoff does not prove inbox delivery, and a fired hook does not prove every downstream effect. The plugin also cannot alert while the entire WordPress stack is offline, so external uptime monitoring remains a separate job.
