## Description

This MCP server provides financial modeling tools to quantify the economic impact of software incidents. It allows teams to calculate total monthly costs by analyzing response costs and downtime costs. Users can use `calculate_incident_economics` to establish a baseline, `calculate_prevention_roi` to justify stability investments, `simulate_mttr_optimization` to estimate savings from faster recovery, and `analyze_severity_impact` to identify cost drivers across different severity tiers.

## Tools

### analyze_severity_impact
Analyze cost breakdown by severity level

### calculate_incident_economics
Calculate the total economic impact of current incident profile

### calculate_prevention_roi
Calculate the ROI for a prevention investment

### simulate_mttr_optimization
Simulate savings from reducing MTTR

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total economic impact of 5 incidents per month with a 2-hour MTTR, $150 response cost, and $500 downtime cost, with a severity distribution of {'critical': 0.1, 'high': 0.2, 'medium': 0.4, 'low': 0.3}?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total monthly cost for your current incident profile is $11,250.00, consisting of $1,500.00 in response costs and $9,750.00 in downtime costs.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If I spend $5,000 to reduce my monthly incident costs by 20%, what is my ROI?
```

**Response:** 
```
The annual ROI for this prevention investment is 240.0%, with net annual savings of $12,000.00 and a payback period of 5 months.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much would I save if I reduced my MTTR from 4 hours to 2 hours?
```

**Response:** 
```
Reducing your MTTR from 4 to 2 hours would result in monthly savings of $3,000.00 and annual savings of $36,000.00.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool calculate total incident cost?**
The total cost is the sum of the direct response cost (personnel time) and the downtime cost (economic loss from unavailability), weighted by the severity distribution.

**Can I use this to justify budget for better observability?**
Yes, by using `calculate_prevention_roi`, you can estimate the net savings and payback period of an investment compared to the current incident costs.

**What is the difference between response cost and downtime cost?**
Response cost is the expense of the technical team resolving the issue, while downtime cost is the revenue or SLA loss caused by the service being unavailable.
