Data Source: Cost avoidance calculated from observed reduction in governance violations since framework deployment. Based on empirical comparison of pre-framework behavior (routine violations in CSP compliance, credential exposure, inappropriate terminology, fake data generation) versus post-framework enforcement.

Limitation: No formal baseline exists. The framework was deployed without conducting controlled A/B testing (LLM with framework vs. without framework on identical tasks). Cost avoidance represents observed correlation, not proven causation.

What This Means: While violation reduction has been observed and sustained over multiple months, we cannot prove with certainty what percentage would have been prevented without framework intervention. Figures should be interpreted as "estimated cost avoidance based on observed violation reduction" rather than "certain prevented costs."

Validation Opportunity: A controlled study comparing identical governance-relevant tasks with/without framework enforcement would provide stronger ROI validation evidence. This remains a future research priority.
