The Developer Hour ROI Calculation
Recommended Spoken Script
"Our 20 engineers currently wait 40 minutes per PR build, 3 times a day. That equates to 40 hours of lost engineering time every single day—worth roughly $120k/month in delayed roadmap output. Investing 1 sprint in automated Turbopack caching cuts build times to 4 minutes, recapturing 35 productive engineering hours daily."
