How this tool works
Counts failures
Runs per day × 30 × failure rate.
Prices the damage
Lost value grows with the time before anyone notices; part of it is recovered once found; fixing takes someone's time.
Compares with monitoring
With alerts and retries, failures are caught in minutes and most recover automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Why do failures go unnoticed?
Because by default most tools stop silently: no alert, no retry. A webhook stops firing and nobody sees it until a customer complains.
What does good monitoring look like?
An error workflow that alerts a person within minutes, automatic retries for temporary errors, and a daily check that each workflow actually ran.
Are these numbers exact?
No, they are estimates from your inputs. The point is the order of magnitude.
