## Why It Matters

A vendor-published case study, not an independent measurement — the time savings are OpenAI's and the customer's claims. On a day dominated by frontier-model launches (Gemini 4 Argon, Claude Sonnet 5), it is a reminder that most published AI uptake news is productivity anecdotes rather than benchmarked results.
