Why it works

The story anchors on a concrete annual savings figure and then breaks it into named components, so the reader can trace exactly where the money went. The interview format lets the CTO explain the migration in his own words without sounding like vendor copy. The piece earns the Efficiency tag because the headline and opening lead with cost reduction, even though switching to OpenAI also added a capability that did not exist before.

Steal this

Break the headline number into named sub-parts with percentages, so readers can self-identify which saving applies to their own situation.
