+- Labor Reduction: $10,400/year (20 hours/month saved × $50/hour)
+- Support Reduction: $2,600/year (fewer tickets from automation)
+
+### 📊 Honest Metrics
+
+| What We Claim | How We Achieve It |
+|---------------|------------------|
+| 50% faster provisioning | Bulk CSV import vs manual entry |
+| $1,500/month savings | Identify & reclaim 30 inactive licenses |
