Why it works

The story earns its Efficiency tag with a clean, specific dollar figure: detention costs down from roughly $54,000 to roughly $26,000. The before-state is concrete, radio-coordinated trailer moves with no shared visibility, and the mechanism is direct, real-time on-screen trailer location replaced radio coordination. There is a light Clarity secondary thread because the core problem was not knowing where trailers were, but the headline leads with cost reduction, so Efficiency wins the primary.

Steal this

Anchor the before-state with the exact dollar cost of the old process, then show the same dollar line after the fix. It makes the ROI case in two numbers without needing a lengthy argument.
