The breakthrough? Measure all three simultaneously.

Introducing CI Vitals:
🏎️ WET (Workflow Execution Time) - Speed
🎯 NFR (Noise-to-Fix Ratio) - Reliability
🗑️ POT (Pipeline Overhead Time) - Efficiency

Finally, metrics that matter.

A few teams optimize for efficiency:
• Perfect caching strategies
• Optimized dependencies
• Zero waste

But... 🎯🐌 Efficient at being slow. Great at reliably delivering... nothing.

Efficiency without speed = polished mediocrity.

Some teams optimize for reliability:
• Every test must pass
• Multiple approval gates
• "Better safe than sorry"

Result? 🐌✅ Reliable... but painfully slow. Features take weeks. Hotfixes become emergencies.

Reliability without efficiency = innovation killer.

Most teams optimize for speed:
• Parallel jobs everywhere
• Skip tests in dev
• "Ship fast, fix later"

Result? 🏎️💥 Fast chaos. Broken builds. Rollbacks. Fire drills.

Speed without reliability = technical debt at scale.
