- Bring back Speed as its own benefit bullet (was folded into Accuracy) - Reframe the credit angle correctly: a Skill nudges the agent toward the right approach, reducing knowledge searches, tool calls, and reasoning loops, which lowers response time and Copilot credit spend - Split the closing recap's merged 'Accuracy and speed' into separate Accuracy and Speed-and-credits bullets to match the four-benefit framing Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

- Rename first benefit bullet to 'Speed and cost' and keep it product- generic (latency, throughput, cost); credits stay in the later recap - Drop the long diagram caption; replace with a short paragraph that states the on-demand context model and ties back to the earlier benefits, delivering on the section heading Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Reviewed and merged as-is into Verdict: the Speed restoration is sound. The Two minor house-style nits left in (non-blocking, your call for a future pass): a few em-dashes in the new Speed bullet and the de-italicized diagram caption (line ~61, now a plain paragraph rather than an italic caption). |

Stacked on top of @adilei's #332, targeting that branch so it can be reviewed and folded in before #332 merges.
Why
Adilei's edit pass folded the standalone Speed benefit into Accuracy on the grounds that it double-counted context-management + accuracy. I think Speed earns its own bullet: it's an efficiency axis (throughput/latency + spend), orthogonal to the quality axis (accuracy). This restores but reframed correctly.it
What changed
Speed and credits), so the list is back to four.lower response time and less Copilot credit spend. Kept the 'validate, don't assume' caveat.
