Our speed target, stated plainly

We designed the pipeline to deliver migrations three to five times faster and cheaper than a conventional manual approach for the same scope, by letting agents do the pattern-based changes. That is a design target. We are a new company and do not yet have customer results to publish; we will add them here with each client's permission.
