Understand the result

Sales exposure is not the same as money definitely lost.

What the estimate represents

It approximates the gross online sales that would occur during the stated outage hours if sales were spread evenly across an average 730-hour month. It is a simple planning baseline.

What it does not represent

It does not know your busiest hours, customer behavior, alternate sales channels, abandoned carts, refunds, delayed purchases, profit margin, or whether the site was fully unavailable.

How to improve your estimate

Use a representative monthly online sales figure, compare it with actual analytics by hour, and record the duration and frequency of real incidents. If your sales vary substantially by season or time of day, calculate separate scenarios.

What to do after an outage

Record when it began and ended, affected pages, the visible error, hosting status, and any recent changes. Preserve logs and contact your host or developer when the cause is not clear.

Privacy: the estimator performs calculations in your browser. It does not transmit the revenue values you enter to AnthroMeka.
