SQL query execution across 7,851 rows with 10 queries likely consumed minimal compute time relative to LLM synthesis, which dominates cost in text-generation workloads at this scale. The combined pipeline duration supports on-demand execution; scheduled runs would be viable only if query frequency can be reduced below current levels. Primary optimization lever is query consolidation—reducing the 10 discrete queries to fewer, wider-scoped statements would lower both execution overhead and downstream LLM input volume, directly compressing total runtime.
