Writing case studies
Quick start
Collect or infer:
- •Customer name and industry
- •Problem they faced before your solution
- •Solution implemented (your product/service)
- •Results achieved (quantified where possible)
- •Approval status (can we name them? quote them?)
- •Target audience for the case study
Then produce output using TEMPLATES.md. Validate with RUBRIC.md.
Workflow
- •Gather raw materials (interview transcript, metrics, customer quotes).
- •Select structure from reference/case-study-structure.md.
- •Identify the narrative arc: problem → solution → transformation.
- •Write compelling headline with result or transformation.
- •Draft each section, leading with specifics over generalities.
- •Pull and attribute quotes throughout (not just at end).
- •Quantify results wherever possible (time, money, percentage).
- •Add visual elements placeholders (screenshots, data charts).
- •Get customer approval on final draft.
- •Run the rubric check. Revise until it passes.
Degrees of freedom
- •Low: Must include quantified results and customer quote; must follow problem-solution-results arc.
- •Medium: Structure format, quote placement, narrative voice.
- •Allowed variation: Long vs. short format, single-page vs. multi-page—as long as rubric passes.
