operational efficiency

A Linux/Bash-first guide to proving AI automation ROI with hard numbers: benchmark baseline vs AI scripts using hyperfine/time/jq/bc, convert seconds to dollars, and calculate benefits, costs, ROI, and payback. Pilot with output parity, track in CI/cron, and account for hidden costs. Includes formulas, drop-in scripts, real use cases (triage, ETL, routing), and a quick-start CTA to validate where AI is worth scaling.
