Why it works

The story leads firmly with a cost number going down, making Efficiency the clear primary type. The secondary Clarity tag is earned: ingesting 40,000 handheld scanner endpoints was genuinely impossible before, eliminating what the customer explicitly calls a 'critical blind spot.' The competitive switch against the unnamed incumbent SIEM is explicit and adds credibility to the cost claim, since Hermes Germany evaluated multiple large providers before choosing Elastic.

Steal this

Anchor the cost saving to a concrete five-times comparison at the point of decision ('migrating to the cloud with the incumbent would have been five times higher'), then restate it as a simpler 50% headline, giving readers two ways to grasp the same saving.
