## Supported finding

Fewer requests, appropriately shorter outputs and classical alternatives can reduce unnecessary model work.

## Limits and transfer

Cost and latency do not move proportionally. Page-specific examples are not workload forecasts.

## Use in the session

Mechanism and decision conditions. Retain the qualifications when translating the finding into slide copy. No source establishes Knauf's savings.
