# Actensity

*/Startups/Actensity*

## Startup Overview

This platform connects infrastructure monitoring alerts directly to automated remediation workflows. Instead of merely notifying on-call engineers, it parses incoming telemetry and executes predefined runbooks to resolve system anomalies. The system evaluates the context of an alert, selects the appropriate response protocol, and applies code-level or infrastructure fixes without human intervention.

Site reliability engineers and DevOps teams handle thousands of routine alerts, frequently logging on simply to execute standard, well-documented failover commands. Traditional incident management relies on static manual triage wikis that dictate what a human operator must type into a terminal during an outage. This dependency delays system recovery and burns out expensive technical talent.

While legacy routing tools like PagerDuty and Splunk On-Call escalate problems to humans, this solution eliminates the escalation bottleneck entirely through fully autonomous execution. It acts as an active machine operator rather than a passive answering service. Aligning cost directly with operational value, the platform charges exclusively per resolved incident, meaning teams pay only when uptime is actually restored.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting mid-market SaaS companies aiming to resolve 40% of known L1 alerts without human intervention.
- Designed to demonstrate a complete elimination of middle-of-the-night SRE wakeups for predictable, repeatable infrastructure faults.
- Aiming to reduce mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) on targeted alerts from minutes to seconds.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Stateless Remediation · Price: ~$20–$40 per resolved incident · Inclusions: Automated execution of standard stateless runbooks (e.g., container restarts, cache clears), designed to integrate directly with primary monitoring alert webhooks.
- Name: Stateful Operations · Price: ~$60–$90 per resolved incident · Inclusions: Multi-step stateful runbook execution, intended for complex database failovers or multi-service rollbacks, with built-in human-in-the-loop escalation paths.
**Guarantee**: If Actensity executes a runbook but fails to return the triggering monitoring metric to baseline within your defined time window, requiring manual SRE intervention, you are not charged for that incident.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Will an autonomous system accidentally take down our production environment? Rebuttal: Actensity is designed to operate strictly within customer-defined IAM boundaries and read-only dry runs before you authorize full write access.
- Objection: How do we know it actually fixed the issue instead of just silencing the page? Rebuttal: The system does not mark an incident resolved until it actively queries the originating monitoring platform and verifies the faulting metric has returned to a healthy baseline.
- Objection: What if a runbook gets stuck in an infinite execution loop? Rebuttal: Every runbook enforces hard-coded execution timeouts and step limits that immediately trigger an escalation to your human on-call rotation if breached.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day staging environment pilot: Connect Actensity to a non-critical monitoring webhook to validate successful read-only dry runs and prove 100% accurate human escalations during simulated timeout scenarios.
- 60-day stateless production pilot: Integrate with the primary monitoring stack to automate three specific, high-frequency L1 runbooks (e.g., container restarts), aiming to autonomously resolve 50 incidents with zero manual SRE overrides.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 40% reduction in manual SRE intervention for L1 monitoring alerts
- Aim: Decrease mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) for targeted faults from 15 minutes to under 45 seconds
- Target: 0 middle-of-the-night SRE wakeups for predictable, repeatable infrastructure faults
- Aim: 100% verification rate of metric-return-to-baseline prior to automated incident closure
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market FinTech SaaS, VP of Engineering: Achieves automated resolution of 40% of known L1 alerts, permanently eliminating middle-of-the-night SRE wakeups for predictable stateless faults like cache clears.
- Series C Consumer App, Lead Site Reliability Engineer: Transitions from 20-minute manual multi-step database failovers to automated stateful operations that resolve incidents within 60 seconds using built-in human-in-the-loop escalation paths.
- B2B E-commerce Platform, Director of Cloud Infrastructure: Integrates automated runbooks directly with primary monitoring webhooks to handle traffic spikes, paying strictly per resolved incident verified by a return to baseline metrics.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Lead Site Reliability Engineer: Gratitude that Actensity eliminates off-hours pages for standard container restarts and cache clears without requiring broad write access.
- VP of Infrastructure: Relief that the platform operates strictly within predefined IAM boundaries and only bills when the originating monitoring metric actually returns to a healthy baseline.
- CTO: Confidence in the fail-safes, specifically praising how hard-coded execution timeouts and step limits prevent infinite runbook loops and immediately escalate to the human on-call rotation.

## Startup Top Risks
