WASTE
The problem isn't your platform. It's your data.At least half of what you're sending is junk. Debug logs from three engineers ago. Health checks firing every second. Middleware logging ten times per request. You're paying premium prices to store and search garbage.You've tried to fix this. Cost exercises, asking teams to reduce logging, maybe a pipeline. It helped at the margins, but entropy keeps winning. Without knowing exactly what's junk, you're guessing.Your vendor isn't going to cut your bill in half. So you're left dreading renewals, becoming the cost cop your engineers resent.This isn't a cost problem. It's a quality problem that shows up as cost. The engineers complaining about observability and the CFO complaining about spend are reacting to the same root cause.

Fix the data, fix everything.
You're not the cost cop anymore
You show up with evidence, not demands. Engineers fix what you show them because the proof is right there.
You stop guessing which logs to cut
Every policy traces to specific data. You know exactly what's waste and why. No more asking teams to "reduce logging" with nothing to point at.
Engineers stop pushing back
"I need that data" doesn't work when you can show them it's a health check firing 400 times a second. The proof ends the argument.
Know exactly what you're paying for
Not just the total. Every service, every log type, every dollar. You can finally explain the bill.
Renewals stop being a crisis
You know exactly where you stand months ahead. No surprises, no scrambling, no career-threatening overages.
Costs drop and stay down
Not from sampling or sacrifice. From removing waste that was never helping anyone.
