# Service Level

An overview of Service Level constructs (SLR, SLS, SLA) and how they connect in a typical service-management workflow, with reference to the Apex application.

### **Define the SLR (Requirement)**

- Business and customers articulate *what they need from a service*.
- These requirements are *approved and published* as a base document.

**Output:** Service expectations with preliminary targets. ⏬

### **Translate into SLS (Specification)**

- Internal teams **quantify and formalize measurements** for those expectations.
- Determine thresholds, allowable downtimes, resource needs, and monitoring rules.

**Output:** Measurable metrics and enforceable performance definitions. ⏬

### **Agree into SLA (Agreement)**

- Formal contract is drafted based on the SLR + SLS.
- SLA defines *commitments, metrics, reporting, review processes, and remedies*.

**Output:** Official service delivery agreement with both parties bound.

## Summary Table

| Concept | What It Is | Role in Workflow |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **SLR** | High-level expectations | *Requirements input* for service targets |
| **SLS** | Measurable performance specs | *Translation to enforceable criteria* |
| **SLA** | Formal agreement | *Binding contract and performance framework* |
