thanks for the feedback!

it's really hard to measure some times. for example, once of the things we have seen is that the specific `workflow-triage` schedule we have have been running much faster and cheaper since we moved some parts of it to use scripts. From our analytics we saw times from ~5min before to ~1 or 2 min now. And in terms of costs we saw +50% reduction.

Why not 90%? because even if it uses the script, that's the "repeatable" part. we still have a reasoning around the output of it, and then deciding how to escalate, which removes the 40% reduction. Still 50% is nice for something we run daily.

I read it like that: we haven't measured this YET until now, and now we did
