We have updated and replaced the previous Importance field in Intel with two new fields, Impact and Urgency. The urgency field is used to classify how time-sensitive or actionable an event is for stakeholders and is in line with how the importance field was used historically. The impact field is used to classify the scale of the potential effect of an event on the asset or its fundamentals. The urgency associated with an event will be assessed per update and will likely fluctuate, while Impact will be static in most instances.

An example of this in practice would be a critical upgrade of a protocol such as Uniswap V4. The event is not urgent as there isn’t a time-sensitive call action for users or token holders, but it is high impact as it does introduce multiple tangible improvements to the protocol. On the other side, a standard network upgrade of a cosmos ecosystem network that only implements minor bug fixes would be high urgency as there is a time-sensitive actionable requirement for node operators but would not be high impact as the upgrade does not tangibly change the core network.

Urgency and Impact use the same scale as the importance field did historically, with Low, Medium, High, and Very High. You can create alerting policies to target both the impact and urgency fields in the intel alert policy builder. Additionally, these fields are present in all intel table views as well as within specific event cards.
