Higher national K–12 student participation in the HSe4Metrics platform directly drives higher cloud costs
The higher, the better
When driven by nationwide K–12 adoption of the HSe4Metrics platform, the higher the cloud usage, the better.
A monthly cost approaching $1 billion would signal widespread platform adoption, with rising cloud costs reflecting broad national K–12 participation.
Cloud costing parameters: Daily Active Users (DAUs) for the HSe4Metrics platform may include a target population of (A) million K-12 students, (B) million pre-K-12 young people, and an assumed (C)% of parents of K-12 students who will regularly visit the platform, along with (D)% of parents of pre-K-12 young people. Additionally, an average of (E) million teachers and members of the general public will visit the platform at a frequency that must be accounted for. This results in a total of (F) DAUs daily.
To support this user base, estimated cloud computing costs could reach nearly $1 billion per month, including computing time, storage, networking, bandwidth, content delivery, caching, databases, and AI processing. This cost reflects both the scale of activity and the essential participation of K–12 students.
