# Puresense

*/Startups/Puresense*

## Startup Overview

Data engineering teams face corrupted analytics and inflated storage costs when bots, scrapers, and automated tests flood raw event streams. This filtering engine intercepts telemetry data in transit, identifying and stripping synthetic interactions before they ever reach permanent storage. By operating directly at the ingestion layer, it guarantees that downstream metrics and machine learning models train exclusively on verified human behavior.

Unlike Akamai Bot Manager which operates at the network edge, or Snowplow Analytics and in-house SQL scripts that rely on expensive post-processing after data is stored, this solution is completely pipeline-native. It applies strictly deterministic filtering rules directly to the telemetry stream. The engine processes high-volume events on the fly, separating machine noise from human interaction without edge-routing dependencies or downstream queries.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that strips synthetic interactions from raw telemetry pipelines before storage
**Competitors**:
- [Akamai Bot Manager](/Competitors/Akamai_Bot_Manager)
- [Snowplow Analytics](/Competitors/Snowplow_Analytics)
- [in-house SQL filters](/Competitors/in-house_SQL_filters)
**Differentiator2x2**: pipeline-native rather than edge-blocked and strictly deterministic in its filtering

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting high-volume e-commerce platforms aiming to reduce data warehouse storage costs by 15% through synthetic traffic removal.
- Designed for SaaS telemetry teams to process up to 1 billion daily events with zero dropped valid payloads.
- Aiming for media publishers to achieve 100% deterministic analytics pipelines without relying on edge-layer probability scores.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Growth Pipeline · Price: ~$250–$600/mo base + ~$0.15 per million events · Inclusions: Deterministic bot and script filtering applied directly to raw telemetry streams up to 500 million events per month, including standard rule updates and intended REST endpoint integrations.
- Name: Enterprise Telemetry · Price: ~$1,200–$2,500/mo base + ~$0.08 per million events · Inclusions: Unlimited event volume processing, custom deterministic rule authoring, sub-millisecond latency SLAs, and intended native integrations for Kafka and Amazon Kinesis.
**Guarantee**: Guarantees a maximum of 5 milliseconds of processing latency overhead on all filtered telemetry streams; if latency exceeds this threshold over a 24-hour period, the subsequent month's base processing fee is fully credited.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Why not just use an edge WAF like Akamai to block bots? Edge blockers miss internal synthetic traffic, test scripts, and authenticated scrapers; pipeline-native filtering cleans the data immediately before storage regardless of origin.
- Will this introduce unacceptable latency to our event stream? The deterministic rules engine operates entirely in-memory and is designed to add less than 5 milliseconds of overhead per payload.
- How do we know it will not drop valid user telemetry? The system relies strictly on verifiable, deterministic rules rather than opaque machine-learning probability, ensuring clean traffic passes through untouched.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day shadow deployment on a secondary Kafka topic to prove sub-5ms latency overhead while processing up to 500 million raw events.
- 30-day proof-of-concept integrating with existing REST endpoints to demonstrate a minimum 10 percent reduction in total event volume ingested into the primary data warehouse.
**Target Metrics**:
- Aim: 15 percent reduction in monthly data warehouse storage costs.
- Target: Less than 5 milliseconds of processing latency overhead per payload.
- Target: 0 valid user payloads dropped using verifiable deterministic filtering rules.
- Aim: 1 billion daily events processed smoothly without pipeline bottlenecks.
**Target Case Studies**:
- High-volume e-commerce platform data engineering team reduces data warehouse storage costs by filtering out synthetic and scraper traffic before ingestion.
- Enterprise B2B SaaS telemetry team scales to process 1 billion daily events without dropping valid payloads, maintaining strict sub-5ms latency SLAs.
- Digital media publisher transitions from edge-layer probability scoring to a fully deterministic analytics pipeline to ensure accurate ad-revenue reporting.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Data Engineering expressing relief that pipeline-native filtering captures internal test scripts and authenticated scrapers that traditional edge WAFs miss.
- Lead Telemetry Architect praising the transparency of deterministic rules over opaque machine-learning probability scores.
- Head of Analytics confirming that dropping synthetic events early resulted in highly accurate business reporting and immediate cloud infrastructure cost savings.

- Severity: high · Description: Inline processing within high-throughput telemetry pipelines introduces unacceptable latency or data loss during massive traffic spikes. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Customers prioritize edge-based blocking over pipeline filtering to save on upstream bandwidth and ingestion costs. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Data engineering teams replicate the deterministic filtering logic using basic SQL rules in their destination data warehouse. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
