# AI root-cause analysis

> For every incident Lemwatch correlates recent deploys, DNS diffs, cert changes, and upstream provider status pages to pinpoint the likely cause.

## Quick answer

 We cross-reference the incident timestamp with your last deploy, DNS diff, cert change, and upstream cloud provider status pages, then rank the top 3 causes by likelihood.

## Signals correlated

- Git deploy webhooks (if wired)

- DNS record diffs

- SSL cert renewal / rotation events

- Cloudflare / AWS / GCP status pages

- WordPress plugin/theme version changes

- Autopilot actions in the same window

## Where to find it in Lemwatch

 **Incident detail → Likely cause.** Each candidate has an evidence link.

## How to fix

- Read the top-ranked cause and its evidence.

- If wrong, click "Not this" — the model learns per-org over time.

- When confirmed, click "Add to postmortem" to seed the incident report.

## FAQ

### What if it can't find a cause?

 You'll see "No correlated changes in the last 60 minutes" — start with [outage triage](https://lemwatch.com/help/outage-triage).

### Does it access my server logs?

 No — it uses only signals Lemwatch already collects.
