20% is a realistic starting point for well-understood K8s incidents. Shoreline claims 50% over time.
Traversal 38%, Shoreline 75%, PagerDuty 95%
PagerDuty reference: $125. Lower-tier estimate: $40.

The formula (shown)
incidents_per_year = 780
in_scope = 780 * 20% = 156
hours_saved = 156 * (40min / 60) * 50%
= 52 hours/year
dollars_saved = 52 * $175/hr
= $9,100/yearHonest caveat
These numbers are optimistic if you have not pre-instrumented the incidents you want automated. Expect 2 to 6 months of calibration before hitting mature savings. The scope percentage (currently 20%) is the variable most teams overestimate. Start at 10%, earn your way to higher coverage.
