| coverage | “automated the highest-value 30% of the regression suite” (grade A, baseline no) | <10% (previous AI tool) | 30% of regression suite | no | no |
| other | “Intelligent waits instead of hard-coded sleeps cut flaky failures by 85%.” (grade A, baseline no) | not stated | 85% fewer flaky failures | no | no |
| execution-time | “A cached login strategy cut roughly 60% of execution time” (grade A, baseline no) | not stated | ~60% less execution time | no | no |
