&lt;p&gt;The question about which metric matters most in the first 90 days is worth sitting with. In our experience it was time reclaimed from manual compliance documentation that showed up first, with risk reduction becoming more visible later once the initial gap analysis translated into actual remediation. Curious whether others have found cost savings or time savings to be the more defensible metric when reporting compliance ROI to leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
