A case study should help a prospective customer understand how a business works on a problem similar to theirs. It is more credible when it explains the constraints, decisions, and evidence rather than presenting only a polished result.
Choose a useful story
Select a project with a clear customer problem, a meaningful process, measurable or observable change, and permission to share the details. Choose variety over a collection of nearly identical pages.
Explain the starting point
Describe the customer context, workflow, audience, constraints, systems, and risks. Keep sensitive or identifying details private when permission does not cover them.
Show the decisions
Explain what the team built, changed, integrated, tested, or intentionally left out. Readers want to know how the solution fits the situation, not just which technologies were used.
Use evidence responsibly
Include metrics, screenshots, before-and-after process details, quotes, or observable outcomes when they are accurate and approved. Define the time period and what the measurement means.
Connect the story to a next step
Link to the relevant service, guide, or contact path. The action should fit the reader's stage: learn more, see a capability, request a conversation, or ask a question.
The content calendar guide can help assign case study ownership and review dates.
Keep the page maintainable
Record permission, source assets, customer approval, publication date, update owner, and any claims that need review. Remove or revise the page when the customer relationship or outcome changes.
