Who explains their outages?
4%
of 124 major outages since 4 November 2026 got a published root cause analysis on the vendor's status page; for 9 more one was promised.
Why it matters
An outage you can read about afterwards - what broke, why, and what changes - tells you more about a vendor than its uptime figure. This page tracks every incident rated major or critical since 4 November 2026, when we started reading postmortems - 82 companies so far - and whether the company published a postmortem on its status page. It updates itself as incidents are resolved and explained.

How this is counted
A major outage is a resolved incident that the company itself rated major or critical; scheduled maintenance is left out. It counts as explained when an update on the status page is marked "postmortem", links to a postmortem, incident report or root cause analysis, or is a root cause write-up of over 500 characters; "a root cause analysis will follow" counts as promised. We look at the updates while the incident is among the 25 newest on the status page, so a postmortem published only on a company blog, or very late, may be missed - details. Companies that rate their incidents more honestly have more of them here. Something wrong? hi@brokentoday.com.
