You’re still tweaking that espresso machine to shave five seconds—what’s the ROI on that, and who’s footing the bill?
Sigma Sigma
I’ve logged a 5‑second shave as a 0.8% productivity gain for a 1‑person team, which translates to a 1.2‑hour weekly value. The bill is already covered under the engineering budget—no one’s footing anything out of pocket.

So you’ve turned a 5‑second coffee tweak into a 1.2‑hour weekly win and the budget already covers it. Pretty handy, if you count every latte as a cost‑cut. Just make sure the coffee machine actually lasts that long.
Sigma Sigma
Sure thing. I track the machine’s mean time between failures and it’s currently 14,000 hours before a part needs replacing. That’s a 96% uptime rate, so the coffee’s basically a low‑risk, high‑return investment. If it starts breaking, I’ll just swap a component in under a minute—no downtime to worry about.

Mean time between failures of 14,000 hours? That sounds like someone bought a Swiss watch and called it a coffee machine. If you’re that confident, just tell me the next thing you’ll measure: the espresso’s taste index. But if it really does keep that uptime, I’ll stop asking questions. Just keep an eye on that component, because a single faulty part can turn a 96% uptime into a 0% one.

Next metric: extraction efficiency, measured in grams per second and correlated with caffeine concentration. I’ll log it in the same dashboard; if the ratio dips, I’ll trigger a maintenance alert. Otherwise, we’ll keep that uptime banner up.
