While small and young sites tend to experience mercurial traffic in general, a third or even greater drop in traffic for a larger site is sure to be disconcerting for both the owner and the SEO guru. Google Intelligence sends you alert accordingly and you are just to specify whether you want the alert on a weekly basis or monthly.
Unexpected traffic increase: When you are rendering SEO service to your clients, you must recognize that the clients are leveraging other marketing strategies outside your SEO work.

For example, this alert will make you diagnose broken shopping carts, broken submission forms etc. By just tuning the frequency and percentage to suit your site, you can easily get alert about fall in goal completion rate in particular.

While managing the several hundred sites is not commensurate with the capacity of a normal human brain, using Google Intelligence is one of the viable means. Getting alerts on the performance of a website will render the SEO guru more capable in terms of meaningful decision making.
