## Description

This MCP server provides a suite of economic modeling tools to quantify the financial impact and operational value of implementing inference monitoring, anomaly detection, and alerting systems. Use `calculate_monitoring_unit_cost` to determine normalized costs, `calculate_mttr_value_impact` to measure savings from faster recovery, and `generate_economic_summary` to calculate the overall ROI of your monitoring strategy.

## Tools

### calculate_coverage_and_confidence
Evaluates the statistical sufficiency of the monitoring strategy

### calculate_monitoring_unit_cost
Determines the normalized cost of monitoring per million inferences

### calculate_mttr_value_impact
Calculates the financial value gained from reducing the time to detect and resolve inference issues

### generate_economic_summary
Provides a high-level overview of the monitoring ROI (Return on Investment)

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the monitoring cost per 1M inferences for 10M total inferences, 500GB of logs, $200 anomaly detection cost, and $50 alerting cost with 10% sampling?
```

**Response:** 
```
The normalized cost is $27.00 per million inferences.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the value of reducing MTTR from 5 hours to 1 hour if downtime costs $1,000 per hour.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total value saved is $4,000.00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the coverage and confidence for 1,000,000 inferences with a 5% sampling ratio?
```

**Response:** 
```
The coverage is 5.0% and the confidence score is 0.05.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the cost per million inferences?**
Use the `calculate_monitoring_unit_cost` tool. It takes your total inference volume, logging volume, anomaly detection costs, and alerting costs to provide a normalized cost metric.

**Can I model different sampling strategies?**
Yes. The `calculate_monitoring_unit_cost` and `calculate_coverage_and_confidence` tools both accept a `samplingRatio` to account for partial monitoring coverage.

**How is the MTTR value calculated?**
The `calculate_mttr_value_impact` tool calculates savings by multiplying the reduction in Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) by the hourly cost of downtime.
