# Review watcher results

Each run produces a report of what the watcher checked and what it found. **Status** at the top of the watcher’s page shows the current verdict, and **Since** shows how long it has held. The **Overview** tab summarizes the current state and recent runs. The **Run history** tab lists recent runs, and selecting one opens its report.

**Status** is one of the following: **All clear** (no concern), **Flagged** (a warning-level concern), **Escalated** (a critical concern), or **No verdict yet** (no reliable assessment yet). Any of these is fine for this path. The run report explains why the watcher chose it.

If a run fails, the Watchers list shows **Checks failing** for the watcher. Open the run on the **Run history** tab to see why.

If you left your watcher’s page, the first steps take you back.

To review results, complete the following steps:

1. Open **Watchers**.
2. In the Watchers list, click your watcher’s name.
3. Click the **Run history** tab.
4. Select a recent run.
5. In the run’s report, read **Why this verdict** and **Telemetry evidence**.
   
   **Why this verdict** is the watcher’s reasoning, and **Telemetry evidence** is the data behind it.

You checked the watcher’s standing verdict and read the report and evidence behind a run.

If a run failed, check that you still have access to the selected data sources, and recalibrate if queries reference labels that no longer exist.

Watcher runs consume Assistant tokens. The **Watchers** list shows a monthly usage meter, and if the limit is reached, runs are blocked until it resets.

In the next milestone, you’ll wrap up this path and see where to go next.
