    developer_productivity:
      calculation: |
        Time saved per developer * Number of developers * Hourly cost
      example: |
        2 hours/week * 50 developers * $75/hour = $7,500/week

    faster_onboarding:
      metric: Days to first paid API call
      before: 14 days
      after: 7 days
