Why it works
The story is grounded in a concrete, physical constraint: x86 dev machines building for ARM64 hardware via QEMU, with documented before/after times for both cached and uncached builds. The 'hundreds of hours saved' quote is attributed and tied to a specific workflow reality, not a vendor benchmark. The secondary New Capability angle is real because native ARM64 builds on remote hardware were practically impossible before, not merely slower, but Efficiency leads because the headline and all metrics frame a number going down.
Steal this
Anchor the build-time comparison to a workflow consequence (the whole team sits idle between each hardware iteration) rather than just quoting raw minutes, which makes the efficiency gain feel proportional and urgent.
