Aether Games · Agentic ROI
Aether Games · Challenge 1

AI agents multiply metrics — and surprise bills if you’re not watching.

Customer value: Visibility into LLM, GPU, and RAG cost signals on the same stack as your production metrics — before agent sprawl hits finance.

One agentic session can emit 1,000+ series where a traditional service emits ~200. Tokens, VRAM, and latency are standard OTel metrics — you get dashboards and alerts, not spreadsheet surprises.

YOU GET

Cost as a metric

Token counters and GPU gauges — rate and alerts like any RED chart.

YOU GET

Headroom before outage

VRAM and latency histograms — p95 is your UX ceiling for AI features.

YOU GET

One platform story

Streams TCO + adoption velocity + agentic ROI — same Serverless project.

Why finance cares
560+ series per session
User query LLM + tokens RAG retrieval Tool calls Traditional service: ~200 series Outcome: govern AI spend early

Aether Games · Challenge 2

Turn investigation toil into dollars recovered the CFO will sign off on.

Customer value: An ROI model for agentic RCA — FTE hours saved, incidents diagnosed faster, tool overlap removed.

Ops teams spend ~40% of time investigating, not fixing. Agent Builder on metrics + logs + traces quantifies what you get back — then you prove it live on the same Horizon Media and Aether Games stack.

YOU GET

Inputs your finance team uses

Team size, incidents/month, mean time to diagnose — tune to your account.

12 FTE
YOU GET

Hours saved · $ avoided

Conservative ranges — stress-test before the executive readout.

YOU GET

Live agent demo

Not a roadmap slide — Agent Builder on production-shaped data.

Executive ROI brief
Three lines finance expects
Costs avoided — fewer tools, less ingest Productivity recovered — investigation toil ↓ Outcomes faster — MTTR ↓ on same platform One brief · three workshops of proof Outcome: budget conversation, not science project
CFO-ready Agent Builder

Aether Games · Challenge 3

Close with proof — not “we’re evaluating AI someday.

Customer value: A leadership-ready response plan — agentic observability as a 2026 evaluation criterion, demonstrated on your stack.

“We already have AI” and “it’s a science project” are ROI questions. You answer with Gartner Agentic Observability recognition, live Agent Builder, and the consolidation + velocity story from Horizon Media.

YOU GET

Objection playbook

Science project → production agent on Serverless today.
