About this appAI proposal
Outage Ledger watches the CI/CD services your team pays for and keeps a record of every minute they were down or failing for you. It compares your own job history with the provider's status page, so the numbers come from your runs, not from a guess.
Each incident becomes a plain cost: minutes lost, jobs delayed and the share of your usage bill that period covers. One click produces a claim for the provider's support, with timestamps and run IDs attached.
It is for engineering leads who pay by usage and are tired of waiting on a status page with nothing to show for it. It does not replace your CI. It gives you the paper trail most teams never keep.

- Why this name
- A ledger is a plain record of what is owed. The name says the product keeps score of downtime and credit, in words anyone can say.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
Failure vs. outage detection
Separates failures caused by your code from runs that stalled or errored during a provider incident, using run history and public status feeds.

Lost-minutes ledger
A running log of downtime per service, with delayed jobs, queue wait and re-run minutes counted against each incident.
No member yet
Cost of an incident
Maps lost minutes to your usage bill so each outage has a money figure, not just a duration.
No member yet
One-click claim pack
Generates a dated report with run IDs, status page excerpts and a ready-to-send message for the provider's support.

PricingAI proposal
The material verifies GitHub's pricing page: two paid plans from $4 to $21 a month plus a free plan. These tiers sit near that range as a starting point to test. It gives no price for this kind of tool.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Teams send claim packs to provider support and share monthly reliability reports with managers and finance. Each carries a small Outage Ledger credit line and a link to the public report.
- Do they become customers?
- Readers are mostly support staff and managers who may not buy. Test whether managers or other team leads who open the shared report start their own free account.
- First customers
- Engineering leads at companies of 10 to 50 developers that run heavy usage-billed GitHub Actions workloads and already track their CI spend.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News: Post a free public tool that shows downtime minutes from a repo's run history, and link it to the product.
- DevOps communities: Offer free outage audits to teams in CI-focused forums and Slack groups.
- Direct outreach: Contact engineering leads who post about CI outages and offer a free incident report.
- First milestone
- Ten teams connect a repo and five pay for Team after seeing a real incident report within 60 days.
Why people already pay for this
- VerifiedGitHub Actions's pricing page lists 2 paid plans, from $4 to $21 a month, plus a free plan
- Public claimUsers pay for CI/CD service usage but receive no credits when the service experiences downtime.
- Public claimThe lack of credits for downtime may indicate an opportunity to improve service stability incentives.

RisksAI inference
- CommercialThe material does not show that providers offer credits for downtime. If a provider has no credit terms, claims may be refused and the value drops to reporting only. Check each provider's terms first.
- PlatformDepends on CI APIs and status feeds that can change or limit access. Some providers may restrict reading run history.
- DataTelling outage failures from code failures can be wrong, and an overstated claim hurts trust. Evidence must be shown clearly.
- CommercialCredits recovered may be small against a $4 to $21 plan price, so teams may not pay for the tool. Test whether the reports alone are worth it.
