Same OpEx Benioff cut. Different name on the invoice. The savings ledger is the audit trail your CFO will ask for.

A 20% redeploy is the median across our pilot ledger. Above 30% needs a retention plan. Below 10% is signaling, not action.

GPU equivalence

Senior IC payroll $2.4M
H200 cluster equivalents ~1.0
% of Meta's 2026 capex 0.0018%

One H200 cluster lease runs $2.5M/year. Eight ICs at $300K = one cluster. Meta committed $135B this year. Your senior IC line is a rounding error on a single week's hyperscaler order.
