A method of analyzing flowback of a downhole system includes generating active flowback data by monitoring an active flowback from a wellbore. Historic flowback data for historic flowback from the wellbore is used to determine a flowback cluster. The flowback cluster is selected based on comparing the active flowback data to the historic flowback data and determining one or more data instances of the historic flowback data that have features that are similar to that of the active flowback data. Based on the flowback cluster, one or more thresholds may be determined in order to generate an alert when the active flowback data exceeds the thresholds.
