## Busy investor alert priorities

Tendrill categorizes alerts by urgency:

| Priority         | What Triggers It                          | When You're Notified     |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| 🔴 **Urgent**    | Major position drop (10%+), critical news | Immediately              |
| 🟡 **Important** | Earnings results, 5%+ moves               | Same day                 |
| 🟢 **FYI**       | Minor news, analyst updates               | Batched into daily brief |
| ⚪ **Skip**       | Routine market moves                      | Not sent                 |

## The traveling professional setup

Going to be in meetings all day? On a flight?

```
You: I'm in meetings until 5pm, hold all non-urgent updates

Tendrill: ✅ Quiet mode until 5:00 PM ET

I'll only text you if something urgent happens (10%+ move, 
breaking material news). Everything else will be saved 
for your evening catch-up.

Have a productive day! 🎯
```

When you're back:

```
You: I'm free, what did I miss?

Tendrill: Welcome back! Here's what happened:

📊 Portfolio: Up $450 (+0.3%) during your meetings
📰 Minor news: Goldman upgraded NVDA target to $1,100
📈 Markets: Quiet day, S&P +0.2%

Nothing needed your attention. You're all caught up!
```

## FAQ for busy investors

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if I don't have time to respond to alerts?">
    No response needed! Tendrill alerts are informational. There's no action required unless you decide to act. Most messages are "FYI" not "do something now."
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can Tendrill manage my portfolio for me?">
    No - Tendrill provides information, not management. But for busy people, that's often enough. Knowing what's happening lets you make occasional informed decisions without daily research.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the quickest way to check my portfolio?">
    Just text "quick update" - you'll get a one-line response with your portfolio value and today's change.
  </Accordion>
