+## 8.5 Measuring Compression Impact with Profiler
+
+Now let's use the **Profiler** tool from Module 15 to measure the actual parameter reduction from pruning. This demonstrates the complete workflow: profile baseline (M15) → apply compression (M18) → measure impact (M15+M18).
+
+This is the production workflow: measure → prune → validate → deploy.
