That's not at all a dumb comment. As I alluded to in the post, I think it's important that we understand how these systems determine what is - or isn't - an abnormality or fault. Unfortunately, that often means revealing their "secret sauce" and risk exposing their product differentiation. It's going to be interesting to see how these products earn our trust.

Absolutely - this is one of the reasons that we made Kale open sourced so that people can see what we consider an anomaly, and adapt for their own use cases if needed. If your anomaly detection contains secret sauce, it'll be very hard for people to have confidence in it.
