The napkin math on monitoring ROI

Quick math: if your product does $5K MRR, that's about $167/day. A broken checkout or login that goes unnoticed for 24 hours = $167 in potential lost revenue, plus silent churn.

Synthetic monitoring (tests that simulate real user actions in a browser) catches these failures in minutes. I built ObserveOne for this exact reason — there's a free tier that covers this.

Most startups under 50 employees have zero synthetic monitoring. Usually because the tools require a QA engineer to set up.

We made it work with plain English descriptions. No code, 2-minute setup.

Curious — what's your current monitoring setup? How do you catch broken flows before users complain?
