What one hour
of downtime costs

When the site or a bot is down, ads keep spending, leads walk away and the team waits. Work out the price of one hour and one incident, and compare it with the price of making sure it doesn't happen again.

How we calculate

01

Revenue per hour

orders per hour × average order value, or revenue per hour directly

02

Cost of an hour down

revenue × margin × (1 + reputation) + ads per hour + leads × lead value + people × hourly cost

We count lost margin, not revenue: the goods you didn't sell are still yours.

03

Incident and year

hour cost × length, × incidents per year

No sugar-coating

Honest about the math

All numbers are yours. The “reputation” share is an explicit assumption, not a statistic. The calculation leaves out sales that simply shift to after the recovery - if your customers are patient, the real cost is lower, and if ads are expensive and demand is hot, it is higher.

This is a reference point, not a promise of results. Our prices here are “from” prices, the exact amount is fixed in writing after an audit.

Questions

Why margin and not all of the revenue?

Goods you didn't sell stay with you, what's lost is what you would have earned on them. So the calculation rests on margin.

Should ads be paused during downtime?

Yes, as fast as possible: every hour they send people to a broken page. Monitoring with alerts saves exactly those hours.

How do I make sure it doesn't happen again?

Start with a code audit: what is broken, where the risks are and what each fix costs. Then stabilization, tests where money moves, and documentation.
