+AI-assisted workflows streamline repetitive discovery and mapping tasks, particularly when architecture-specific intrinsics are involved.
 
 | Approach | Time |
 |----------|------|
-| Manual migration (install tools, research intrinsics, rewrite code, debug, document) | 5-7 hours |
-| Docker MCP Toolkit + GitHub Copilot (prompt, review, merge) | 25-30 minutes |
+| Manual migration (install tools, research intrinsics, rewrite code, debug, document) | Several hours, depending on complexity |

+Actual time savings depend on codebase size and complexity, but structured tool invocation reduces the need for manual documentation lookup and repetitive edits.

-## Important caveats
+## Validation considerations
 
-Not all AI models produce equal results for migration tasks. The Arm MCP Server provides deterministic context through its tools, but the AI model itself is stochastic. Keep these points in mind:
+Not all AI models produce equal results for migration tasks. While the Arm MCP Server provides structured migration context, AI-generated code should always be reviewed and validated.
 
-- Always use a current flagship model for best results.
+- Always use a current foundational model for best results.
 - Test any performance predictions the model makes against actual benchmarks.
 - Review the generated NEON code for correctness, especially horizontal reductions and lane indexing.
 - NEON lane indices must be compile-time constants, not variables.
