- The public calculator calls its estimate simplified; the dashboard model can separate signal types and indexed events using configured contract rates.
Field notes
The calculator exposes daily volume and vendor as inputs, but describes its estimate as a simplified blended rate plus cloud egress. The page says the dashboard model can instead use configured contract rates and separate signal and indexed-event pricing. A dashboard illustration is explicitly marked as demo data, so its collector counts and savings figures should be read as examples rather than measured customer results.
