Performance Audit

The Law

A PERFORMANCE CLAIM WITHOUT NUMBERS IS AN OPINION.
"I think it's faster" is not a result.
"p95 latency dropped from 480ms to 42ms on a 1000-item dataset" is a result.

When to Use

• Before any optimisation work (establish baseline first)
• When a performance regression is reported
• As a pre-release gate on performance-critical features
• After an optimisation to validate the improvement
