Independent downtime-cost research, read by SRE and reliability teams.Sponsor this site →

One sponsor, clearly labelled

In front of the buyer, at the decision.

OutageCost.com reaches SRE, reliability and operations leaders pricing the cost of downtime, and the teams building the case for reliability investment, with a growing share arriving from AI assistants citing the page. One company can sponsor that: category-exclusive, clearly labelled, and never a vendor we evaluate, which is what makes the association worth having.

01

High-intent, at the decision

SRE, reliability and operations leaders land here while pricing the cost of downtime and building the case for reliability investment. Mid-decision, hard to reach, exactly the buyer you want in front of.

02

Cited by AI assistants

About 12% of visits now arrive from AI assistants, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, citing this page, and it is climbing. When a reliability leader asks an AI what downtime costs, your brand sits in the source it quotes.

03

The model is proven

Cribl is the founding sponsor of our sister site, siemcostcalculator.com, on this same disclosed, category-exclusive model.

Independent by design

Rankings and comparisons here are never for sale, and the sponsor is never a vendor we evaluate. That is not a limitation, it is the point. Your brand sits next to research these teams actually trust, disclosed plainly, which is worth far more than a slot they scroll past.

[02]What the sponsor receives
