Data incident: {{incident_name}} occurred on {{incident_date}} and lasted {{duration}}. Impact:

1. Timeline (detection, impact, resolution)
2. Root cause analysis (infrastructure, code, data quality, process)
3. Detection delay — why did alerting miss it?
4. Business impact (revenue, decision accuracy, credibility)
5. Preventive measures (monitoring, testing, documentation)
6. Follow-up actions and owners
