 - **Consistency at scale** - Same rollout logic and policy gates across all repositories
 - **Risk reduction** - Controlled fan-out (`max`), phased prioritization, and explicit rationale
 - **Auditability** - One orchestrator run provides a full decision trail of selection and outcomes
-- **Operational efficiency** - Teams avoid copy-pasting workflows into every repository
+- **Operational agility** - Update workflows in one central repository without pushing `main` changes across dozens or hundreds of repositories
