The record, with the approval standard attached

Case Studies

Software development case studies are usually written to flatter the vendor. These are written to be checked: a named situation, what actually changed, and a number the client would sign their name against. Nothing reaches production without that signature.

01Filter by the change you are weighing

Nine records, filtered by the problem.

Browsing by industry tells you who we worked with. Browsing by the kind of change tells you whether we have solved your problem before, which is the question that actually matters. Every entry below is a sample record while written client approvals are collected.

Every record below is a sample pending written client approval, and none reach production until approved.

02What earns a place here

Why this library is shorter than most.

Publishing a case study is a governed act here, not a marketing decision. Four conditions must hold before a record appears, and any one of them failing keeps the story off this page no matter how good it is.

  1. Written client approval

    The client reads the record and approves it in writing, including the numbers. Silence is never treated as consent.

    A signature, not an assumption
  2. Measured, not estimated

    Every figure traces to something observable: release frequency, resolution time, audit findings. Impressions do not qualify.

    A number with a source
  3. What went wrong, included

    Records state the wrong turns and the trade-offs taken. An engagement with no difficulties did not happen the way the story claims.

    The honest version
  4. Reviewed, not archived

    Claims are re-checked against reality on a schedule. A record that has quietly stopped being true is removed rather than left to age.

    A record kept current

03A test you can apply anywhere

Four questions for any vendor's case study.

These questions work on our records and on everyone else's, which is the point of publishing them. A case study that cannot survive all four is marketing wearing evidence as a costume.

Question 01

Is the client named, or implied?

An unnamed client can mean an approval still pending, which is honest, or a story nobody would sign. Ask which. Vagueness that persists after asking is your answer.

Question 02

Is the number measurable by the client?

Release frequency and resolution time are observable. Efficiency gained and value unlocked usually are not. Prefer figures the client could verify from their own systems.

Question 03

Does the story include a difficulty?

Real engagements contain wrong turns. A record with no friction has been edited until it stopped being evidence and became a brochure.

Question 04

Is the engagement shape stated?

Team size, duration and who directed the work decide whether the outcome is comparable to yours. Without that context, an impressive number tells you nothing.

04Three ways to use this

Take the evidence somewhere useful.

A library is only worth the decision it informs. If a record here resembles your situation, the fastest next step is usually a scoping conversation rather than more reading. The practice pages carry the full method behind each kind of change.

  • Read the method behind the outcome

    Every record traces back to a practice page with the full scope, delivery system and honest exits stated.

  • Compare a record with your situation

    A scoping engagement turns the resemblance into a plan, priced against your estate rather than someone else's.

  • Read the working notes

    The blog carries the reasoning between engagements: the decisions, the trade-offs and the things that did not work.
