Why it works

The before/after cost table ($250K estimated vs $30K actual) gives readers a concrete anchor and makes the efficiency claim verifiable. The mechanism is specific enough to follow: annotate an existing OpenAPI spec, let Speakeasy regenerate providers on every GitHub push, no dedicated Go engineers required. There is a secondary New Capability angle because epilot could not offer Terraform-based customer onboarding at all before this, but the headline leads with cost reduction so Efficiency is the right primary tag.

Steal this

The side-by-side metrics table (Before Speakeasy vs With Speakeasy) across four dimensions turns abstract claims into a scannable proof sheet that readers can reference in their own buying conversations.
