Illustrative business case
Every number below is derived from assumptions you enter, using simple arithmetic that is listed in full. This is a planning model to structure a conversation — it is not a quote, a benchmark, or a guaranteed outcome.
Illustrative only. Figures are modelled from user-entered assumptions. They do not represent pricing, a commercial offer, or measured benchmark results, and should not be presented to a customer as such.

Current vs. modelled annual platform cost
Three-year view
Current-state cost grows at your stated rate; the modelled scenario grows more slowly because compression and pre-aggregation absorb part of the volume increase.
Benefit breakdown

Every assumption in the model
- Storage cost divided by an assumed 4x compression factor.
- Compute cost divided by an assumed 2.5x efficiency factor from pre-aggregation.
- 58% of pipeline maintenance effort recovered, derived from the latency improvement ratio.
- 30% of incident cost considered addressable, scaled by the same latency ratio.
- Future-state volume growth assumed at 60% of current-state growth due to compression and rollups.
- Year one benefits discounted to 60% to reflect ramp, and include the one-time migration cost.
- All business-impact figures come directly from user-entered assumptions.
