# Resonancespring

*/Startups/Resonancespring*

## Startup Overview

This platform maps multi-tenant compute workloads directly to individual customer invoices. Engineering and finance teams use it to translate aggregate cloud bills into exact unit economics. The system analyzes execution logs and infrastructure telemetry to link specific database queries and compute cycles to the exact tenant that generated them.

SaaS providers running multi-tenant architectures lack the ability to determine the true cost of serving individual users. Shared databases and auto-scaling clusters obscure resource consumption, forcing teams to rely on rough averages or dedicate engineering cycles to maintain custom tagging scripts. This systemic blind spot prevents accurate pricing, margin analysis, and usage tier enforcement.

Unlike AWS Cost Explorer or CloudHealth that stop at the instance level, this solution delivers exact per-query cost attribution. It deploys with zero instrumentation, eliminating the need to modify application code or build complex tagging architectures. Teams connect their cloud environment and logging endpoints, and the engine automatically calculates precise tenant margins.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting zero manual tags required for baseline multi-tenant cost attribution
- Aiming to map 100% of shared database queries to specific customer API keys
- Designed to reduce monthly cost-reconciliation time from weeks to under an hour
**Tiers**:
- Name: Volume Metered · Price: ~$0.01–$0.03 per tracked compute hour · Inclusions: Zero-instrumentation ingestion for single-region clusters, standard query log parsing, and tenant-level cost aggregation
- Name: Exact Attribution · Price: ~$0.04–$0.07 per tracked compute hour · Inclusions: Multi-region cluster support, exact per-query cost attribution, and outputs designed to sync with external billing platforms
**Guarantee**: If the system cannot map at least 95% of your multi-tenant compute costs to specific tenant identifiers within the first 30 days of deployment, the initial month's usage fees are waived.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our shared databases make query costs impossible to separate. Rebuttal: The system is designed to parse execution logs and assign fractional compute costs based on actual query execution time per tenant.
- Objection: Engineering has no bandwidth to rewrite the app to add cost tags. Rebuttal: Deployment requires zero application instrumentation, intending to operate purely by analyzing existing cloud metrics and access logs.
- Objection: Granting access to our cloud environment is a security risk. Rebuttal: The platform is built to read only telemetry and query logs via restricted IAM roles, without ever accessing the raw data payloads.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: B2B → Cloud Platform Engineer → SaaS Finance Team
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires platform engineers through a self-serve diagnostic trial that maps a single cloud environment to surface unallocated tenant compute costs. Expands by connecting these exact per-query metrics directly into the finance team's broader billing and invoicing systems for automated cost recovery.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to list in the LangChain tool registry and autonomous agent capability directories as a FinOps query tool, enabling AI billing agents to dynamically retrieve precise per-tenant compute costs for automated invoice generation.
**Primary Channel**: Technical search capture for specific queries like 'multi-tenant cloud cost attribution' and 'AWS per-query billing without tags', driving infrastructure engineers seeking alternatives to manual tagging scripts.

## 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 single-region cluster pilot to map at least 95% of tenant compute costs solely via existing cloud metrics and access logs
- 14-day exact attribution trial on a shared database to successfully export a per-tenant query cost feed that syncs seamlessly with the client external billing platform
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 95% or greater attribution of multi-tenant compute costs to specific tenant identifiers
- Aim: 0 manual application code changes required to ingest telemetry and assign costs
- Target: Reduction in monthly cost reconciliation workflow from 14 days to under 60 minutes
- Aim: 100% mapping of shared database queries to specific customer API keys
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market B2B SaaS CTO achieving exact fractional query attribution across shared multi-region databases without requiring engineering to add a single cost tag
- Enterprise FinOps Director reducing monthly tenant cost reconciliation time from weeks to under an hour by syncing execution log parses directly to external billing
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Engineering expressing relief that granular tenant cost metrics are achieved via read-only log parsing instead of a massive application rewrite
- Head of FinOps highlighting the confidence to launch usage-based pricing now that shared compute queries are accurately fractionalized
- Cloud Security Architect confirming the platform safely isolates access to telemetry via restricted IAM roles without touching raw data payloads

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Cloud providers deprecate or restrict access to the low-level telemetry APIs required for zero-instrumentation deployment. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Processing overhead for exact per-query cost attribution creates compute costs that outstrip the customer's cloud savings. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Enterprise security teams reject the broad infrastructure read permissions required to map multi-tenant workloads without agents. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: AWS natively releases per-query multi-tenant cost attribution within AWS Cost Explorer. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to prove the unit economics of every customer to the executive team
- **Want**: to attribute shared infrastructure costs to specific customer accounts
- **Identity**: the engineering manager at a multi-tenant SaaS company
**Plan**:
- Step: Connect Logs · Detail: Grant restricted IAM access to your existing cloud telemetry and database execution logs.
- Step: Check Attribution · Detail: Review the dashboard as it maps shared compute hours to specific tenant identifiers automatically.
- Step: Sync Billing · Detail: Export the per-tenant cost data directly into your invoicing platform for exact billing.
**Guide**:

**Problem**:
- **Villain**: unallocated cloud spend
- **External**: CloudHealth and AWS Cost Explorer leave 40% of shared RDS and EKS spend as an unidentifiable lump sum that cannot be billed back.
- **Internal**: You feel like you are guessing at gross margins while engineering gets blamed for budget overruns.
- **Philosophical**: Why should SaaS leaders accept margin uncertainty when every query is triggered by a specific customer ID?
**Success**: Every dollar of shared infrastructure spend is mapped to a customer invoice, turning cloud costs into transparent unit economics.
**One Liner**: Unallocated cloud spend costs SaaS leaders their profit margins. Resonancespring maps multi-tenant workloads to individual customer invoices so you can stop subsidizing expensive users.
