Even if you set your cap at $10,000 it would be better than nothing.

The price cap should be the number you’d be willing to spend to avoid an outage vs when you’d rather kill everything and work out what happened.

This is the right perspective, but the folks who would be setting this cap for the customers that matter likely have no idea how to price that, or the price would be so absurd as to make the cap meaningless.

How much would a hospital pay to avoid unexpected downtime of their software systems?
