I'd advise against trying to turn this into a product. Companies will be hesitant to grant a third-party that level of privilege on their infrastructure. And sophisticated companies already have the means to manage their costs. For sophisticated deployments a third-party is unlikely to be in a good position to make those decisions. It's not as simple as "just turn it off". Unsophisticated companies tend to have a simple and predictable architecture with a (largely) fixed monthly cost. The product will be too complex for those simple companies. So I suspect a product like that will be "not good enough" for the serious companies, and too dangerous/difficult for simple companies.
