Implementation Guide

A practical rollout plan for teams connecting WatchTower to their transaction stack.

Staged rollout

Move from simulator to sandbox to limited production traffic before broad coverage.

Clear ownership

Assign engineering, risk, operations, and admin owners before integration work starts.

Production safety

Validate idempotency, notifications, cases, security controls, and reporting before go-live.

Section

Implementation sequence

  1. Confirm the organization and first admin
  2. Choose canonical API ingestion, adapter ingestion, or CSV import
  3. Generate and store the ingestion API key safely
  4. Prepare a minimal stable transaction payload
  5. Implement idempotency and retry handling
  6. Run sandbox or simulator tests
  7. Validate decision response handling
  8. Validate alerts, cases, reports, and notifications
  9. Invite analysts and risk leads
  10. Move to limited production traffic
  11. Monitor and expand coverage
Section

Implementation owners

Recommended owners

  • engineering owner for API or CSV integration
  • risk or compliance owner for decision handling
  • operations owner for alerts and cases
  • admin owner for users, keys, MFA, SLA, and notifications
Section

Integration readiness checks

  • test credentials are available only in the test environment
  • payload fields are stable and documented
  • idempotency key strategy is implemented
  • duplicate reference behavior is tested
  • required fields validation is tested
  • client timeout and retry behavior is defined
  • notification routing is configured for assignment and high-severity alerts
Section

Sandbox validation plan

Start with low-risk simulator or sandbox traffic. Validate one transaction category end to end before expanding to more channels or higher volume.

Test before production

  • normal allow transaction
  • controlled review transaction
  • controlled block transaction
  • duplicate retry with the same idempotency key
  • missing required field
  • invalid API key
  • case assignment and resolution
  • email or channel notification where configured
Section

Production ramp-up

Move to production in phases. Start with limited traffic, monitor ingestion health and alert quality, then expand once operations and support paths are trusted.
