How it works
03 StepsThere is a point where reliability investment starts paying you back.
Spend too little and incidents bleed you dry. Spend too much and you gold-plate services nobody pays for. The benchmark tells you which side of the line you're on.
Underinvesting
High incident costs. Every outage is a fire drill. Prevention can't keep up with scale.
Balanced
Prevention investment matches your scale and risk. Marginal dollar is well spent.
Over-engineering
High prevention costs. Possible gold-plating of low-risk services beyond their value.
