A live-formula spreadsheet (asset B2) that turns a streaming traffic profile into a monthly CDN egress bill: enter viewers, hours, average bitrate, offload ratio, and a region mix with editable per-GB rates, and it computes delivered volume, the region-blended egress bill, the effective $/GB, origin egress, a 95th-percentile peak estimate, and a commit break-even — so you can model your own bill before you sign a CDN contract.
