Case Study SOP — Problem → Solution → Result → Proof → CTA (for websites that pay you to write)
You want to write powerful case study style articles for serious websites, magazines, guest blogs, or journals, and you want to earn money for each accepted piece. This SOP guides you step by step so that you collect the right story beats and proof before you write a single line. You will learn how to move through the classic sequence Problem → Solution → Result → Proof → CTA in a calm, methodical way, the same way professional writers do when they write for big outlets like technology magazines, marketing blogs, or business publications. You will not guess your way through the story. Instead, you will collect clear problems, practical solutions, measurable results, strong proof, and a clean call to action that matches the website’s goals and your reader’s needs.
What a case study really is when you write for paying websites
In content writing, a case study is a real story about a real situation. It usually follows one client, one project, or one experiment from start to finish. Instead of speaking in general theory, you show what actually happened in this one example. When you write for professional websites, your case study becomes a piece of evidence-based storytelling. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. It also has numbers, quotes, screenshots, or other proofs that show the story can be trusted.
Editors like case studies because they combine two things they care about the most: helpful insight for readers and credible proof that the insight is not just a guess. Readers see themselves in the “before” and dream about reaching the “after.” When you collect your data properly, you make it easy for an editor to say “yes” because they do not have to chase missing details or check basic facts. Your job as a writer is to arrange everything in a clear and simple Problem → Solution → Result → Proof → CTA sequence.
| Block | Simple question it answers | What an editor silently checks |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | What was wrong or missing before the project started? | Is the problem specific, believable, and relevant to our readers? |
| Solution | What exactly did the team do and how did they do it? | Is the solution clear, practical, and not disguised as an advertisement? |
| Result | What changed after the solution was implemented? | Are the results concrete, time-bound, and connected back to the original problem? |
| Proof | How can we trust that these results are real? | Are there numbers, quotes, screenshots, or third-party elements that can be verified? |
| CTA | What do we want the reader to do or feel after finishing the story? | Does the CTA match the outlet’s goal (learn, share, subscribe, enquire) and feel honest? |
The 5-part skeleton — Problem → Solution → Result → Proof → CTA
You can think of a case study as a short movie in text form. You introduce the “hero” who has a problem, you show the solution, you reveal the results, you back everything with proof, and then you gently point the reader to a next step. When you follow this order, you can write for different outlets without losing clarity.
How this skeleton maps to your article sections
| Typical article section | Which skeleton blocks it uses | What you must collect in your notes |
|---|---|---|
| Headline & deck | Problem + Result | Short description of the hero + one strong number or outcome that will sit in the deck or subhead. |
| Opening scene | Problem | A specific moment, place, or quote that shows the problem in action and feels human. |
| Middle sections | Solution + Result | Timeline, steps, simple diagrams, and before/after details linked to metrics or qualitative changes. |
| Evidence box | Proof | Screenshots, charts, testimonials, small tables with numbers, and short explanations for each. |
| Ending section | Result + CTA | One summary paragraph, a reflective quote, and a subtle CTA aligned with the outlet’s style. |
The 15-minute case study intake before you outline or pitch
Before you open your writing app or email an editor, you will do a short intake session at your desk. In this session you will gather the minimum data you need for each block of the skeleton. You can do this for a client project, for your own blog experiment, or for a real story you have permission to share. You will write in clear, complete sentences, and you will keep this intake sheet in a folder so you can reuse the story later for different outlets.
15-minute intake — minute by minute
- Write the working name of your case: “How [hero] solved [problem] with [approach].”
- Note who the hero is: a company, a team, a solo creator, or even yourself.
- Confirm you have permission, or that you can anonymise details (for example, “a mid-size ecommerce brand”).
- Use this formula in your notes: “[Hero] faced [problem], used [solution], and achieved [result] in [timeframe] because of [key move].”
- Do not worry about perfect wording. This line is only for you; it keeps your story focused.
- Underline the words that feel the strongest; they might become your headline later.
- Ask “What was happening before?” and note 2–3 specific symptoms (low traffic, slow process, high churn).
- Write down any available baseline metric such as monthly visitors, revenue, response time, or error rate.
- Collect one short quote that captures the emotion of the problem, for example “We were guessing and always late.”
- List 3–5 concrete actions: tools chosen, workflows changed, campaigns launched, people involved.
- Note any constraints: limited budget, small team, tight deadline. Editors like realistic solutions.
- Mark which steps produced the biggest visible change; these will become your “hero moves” in the story.
- For each baseline metric, record the “after” value and the time frame, such as “3 months later.”
- Look for both quantitative results (percent increases, cost savings) and qualitative results (team calmer, clients happier).
- Capture one closing quote, such as “Now we know exactly what to do each Monday.”
- Decide what the outlet wants most: newsletter sign-ups, demo requests, course enrollments, or just deeper reading.
- Write one short CTA that connects the case study result to that goal, such as “Explore more deep-dive stories like this in our toolkit series.”
- Check that your CTA is helpful, not pushy, and that it makes sense for a magazine-style audience.
What proof to collect for each step of Problem → Solution → Result → Proof → CTA
When you think about proof, you are really thinking about reasons to believe. A reader who does not know you or your client should be able to look at your case study and feel that the story is real, fair, and practical. Below is a simple map to help you decide what to collect before you write.
| Skeleton block | Proof you should collect | Where you can find it |
|---|---|---|
| Problem |
|
|
| Solution |
|
|
| Result |
|
|
| Proof (meta) |
|
|
| CTA |

Proof strength ladder — from soft claims to hard evidence
Not all proof is equal. A vague statement like “results improved a lot” is very weak. A clear before/after table or a short testimonial with a name is much stronger. This simple heatmap helps you decide how strong your current proof is and what you should add before you send a draft to an editor.
Template_01: Case Study Capture Canvas — [Editable] Fill your own data
When this canvas is complete you will have everything you need to write a strong case study for a serious website: a clear problem, a believable solution, real results, proof points, and a CTA that respects the host publication’s rules.
- Step 1 — [month / week]: [action]
- Step 2 — [month / week]: [action]
- Step 3 — [month / week]: [action]
- [metric 1]: from [before value] to [after value] in [period].
- [metric 2]: from [before value] to [after value] in [period].
Demo: Case Study Capture Canvas filled for a fictional beginner blogger
This example is fictional but realistic. Imagine you want to pitch a case study to a marketing or creator-focused website that sometimes publishes stories about how small blogs grow. Read this slowly and notice how every box is filled with specific details, not buzzwords.
- Week 1: Audit old posts, identify three trips that could become case studies.
- Week 2: Revisit notes and receipts to collect realistic numbers for “before vs after” costs.
- Week 3–8: Publish one detailed case study every two weeks, each with a simple lead magnet and CTA.
- Weekly signups: 3 → 24 (8x) in two months.
- Average time on case study pages: 1:05 → 3:40.
Designing CTAs that respect the outlet and still help you earn
In a brand-owned blog case study, the ending often says “book a demo” or “start a free trial.” On a magazine website or independent publication, the CTA is usually softer. The editor is protecting reader trust, and if you push too hard, your piece may be rejected or heavily edited. You still want your work to lead to opportunities and income, but you do it through helpful, aligned CTAs.
| Outlet type | Safe CTA styles | What you gain as a writer |
|---|---|---|
| Magazine-style site (e.g., tech, culture, business) |
|
|
| Brand-owned blog |
|
|
| Your own blog or newsletter |
|

Voice & proof balance — sounding human while staying credible
Case studies for serious outlets sit halfway between informal blog posts and academic reports. You want your writing to feel clear and human, but you also want it to sound responsible and grounded. Use these sliders as a reminder when you plan your draft.
For most case studies you will sit close to the middle in all three sliders. You will use simple sentences, friendly explanations, and specific data. You will avoid jokes that distract from the story and you will avoid complicated jargon that scares beginners.
Turn one messy story into a clean problem → solution → result → proof → CTA flow
In a real project your story is never clean in the beginning, because people talk in circles, numbers are scattered in emails, and nobody remembers the exact dates, so this section gives you a simple way to tame the mess and slowly push every detail into one clear line, so that a beginner like you can still create a professional case study that feels like something a site such as WIRED could publish.
1) Problem — define the pain in one honest sentence
You will first write the problem as a single, long, honest sentence that includes who suffered, what broke, how bad it felt, and what was at risk, because without a sharp problem the rest of your case study looks like random bragging.
- Who: name the type of person or organisation (for example “a small travel blog” or “a fintech startup”).
- Where: note the specific area (traffic, conversions, reliability, trust, reputation, revenue, workflow).
- How bad: capture numbers or simple phrases like “month-on-month decline” or “support inbox flooded”.
- Risk: write what could have happened if nothing changed, such as “could not pay team” or “might lose investors”.
2) Solution — describe what was actually done, not just which tool was used
After you have one clear problem line you will describe the solution in simple steps, and you will focus on actions and decisions, not only on product names, because you want the story to feel like a real journey instead of a shallow advertisement.
- Who acted: name the team or role that led the change (founder, content lead, marketing manager, engineer).
- Key moves: list three to five actions in sequence such as “mapped funnel”, “changed layout”, “launched tests”.
- Tools used: mention tools briefly and connect each tool to one job, instead of dropping a long tool list.
- Constraints: capture limits like budget, time pressure, team size, skill gaps, or regulations.
3) Result — write the change in numbers and in human language
In this part you will answer the simple question “what changed after the solution?” in numbers and in everyday language, because both editors and readers want to see a clear before-and-after snapshot that feels real and relatable.
- Baseline: note the starting point (traffic, leads, sales, time spent, error rate, cost per result).
- After: capture the new value after the change and include timeframe where possible.
- Direction: use words like “up”, “down”, “cut”, “doubled”, “stabilised”, “recovered” to make the change feel alive.
- People impact: note how daily life improved for specific people (less stress, more clarity, better sleep, more focus).
4) Proof — back every strong claim with at least one proof type
Now you will connect each important claim in your problem, solution, and result sections to one or more proof items, because serious outlets expect you to show where your information comes from and how readers can trust it.
- Numeric proof: dashboards, reports, spreadsheets, analytics screenshots (with sensitive data hidden if needed).
- Quote proof: direct quotes from founders, team members, customers, or partners.
- Timeline proof: clear sequence of events and dates that show progress instead of random moments.
- Third-party proof: awards, certifications, press mentions, review scores, app-store ratings.
- Visual proof: before-and-after UI, layout changes, workflow diagrams, content samples.
5) CTA — decide the single next step your reader should take
A case study without a clear next step feels emotionally satisfying but commercially weak, so you will choose one main call-to-action that fits the publication and your client, and you will treat that CTA as a design decision just like the headline or structure.
- Primary CTA: the main action like “read a deeper guide”, “try the tool”, “book a demo”, “explore related stories”.
- Location: decide where this CTA will sit (end of story, mid-story box, sidebar, or newsletter version).
- Promise: one line that explains what happens after clicking, in plain language.
- Relevance: match the CTA to the problem and result; if the case study was about email deliverability, the CTA should not suddenly promote an unrelated ebook.
Proof types menu — seven families of proof you can mix and match
To write a strong case study for a modern website you will not rely on a single screenshot or one enthusiastic quote, instead you will build a small “evidence plate” by choosing proof from different families, so that an editor feels safe publishing your work and readers feel safe trusting the claims.
| Proof family | Examples you can collect | Best use inside case study |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Numbers | Analytics exports, before/after metrics, conversion rate, churn, open rate, click-through, revenue, cost, time saved, defect rate, customer lifetime value, repeat purchase rate. | Use in “Result” section as concrete outcome, and sprinkle in “Problem” section to show size of damage before the change. |
| 2. Quotes | Short direct quotes from founders, managers, users, or frontline team; email snippets; Slack messages (with permission); recorded interview lines. | Use to bring emotion and nuance, such as fear before the solution, relief after the change, or surprise at specific results. |
| 3. Screens & artefacts | Screenshots of dashboards and tools, sample campaign creatives, wireframes, content snippets, product mockups, code diffs, process diagrams. | Use as supporting visuals for “Solution” and “Proof”, especially in tech or design-heavy stories. |
| 4. Timelines | Milestone list with dates, launch timelines, release notes, sprint boards, before-and-after photos by month. | Use to show that results did not appear overnight, and to help readers understand how long similar changes might take. |
| 5. Comparisons | Before/after screenshots, old vs new workflows, old vs new tech stack, previous vendor vs current vendor, manual vs automated. | Use to make the story more visual and to help readers feel “this is clearly better than what we had before”. |
| 6. Third-party signals | Ratings on review platforms, press mentions, awards, certifications, independent audits, benchmark reports. | Use to increase trust when your case study makes a bold claim or sits on a high-profile outlet. |
| 7. Human stories | One person’s mini-arc, such as a marketer who got weekends back, a founder who finally slept, or a customer who avoided a costly mistake. | Use to close the piece with a softer but memorable moment, especially on magazine-style websites. |
Judge proof quality — hard vs soft proof and when each is enough
Not all proof is equal, so here you will learn to tell the difference between “hard” proof that can carry a bold statement and “soft” proof that only supports gentle claims, and you will combine them in a way that keeps your story honest and persuasive.
| Proof strength | Examples | Safe usage |
|---|---|---|
| Very soft (1–2) | Unattributed claims, vague phrases like “huge growth”, single unverified quote, slide from a pitch deck with no numbers, anonymous customer stories. | Use only for emotional colour, never as the main support for a numeric claim or business promise. |
| Mixed (3) | Named quotes with no numbers, one analytics snapshot, early estimates from the team, internal survey results, user comments in app stores. | Good for supporting medium claims like “workflow became easier” or “team feels more confident”. |
| Hard (4–5) | Multiple independent metrics, pre/post comparison tables, audited reports, clearly dated milestones, multiple stakeholder quotes that agree, independent reviews. | Use to support strong claims like “cut churn by half” or “tripled time-to-publish speed”. |
Case study interview kit — questions that pull out problem, solution, result, proof, and CTA
Most of your raw material will come from simple conversations with founders, marketers, engineers, or customers, so this section gives you a gentle script that a beginner can follow without feeling like a hard journalist, while still collecting enough detail for a serious outlet.
- What was happening before you changed anything?
- When did you first realise it was a real problem?
- How did it affect your day-to-day work?
- What did you try before this solution?
- What concrete steps did you take first?
- Who was involved and what did they do?
- Which tools or methods made the biggest difference?
- What did you deliberately decide not to do?
- What changed after a week, a month, three months?
- Which numbers or dashboards show that change best?
- How did your team or customers react?
- What surprised you the most about the outcome?
Proof questions
- Can you show me the reports or dashboards that track this?
- Is there an earlier screenshot that shows how things looked before?
- Do you have any public pages (reviews, social posts, press) that confirm this change?
- Is there someone else I can talk to who saw this shift from a different angle?
CTA questions
- When a reader finishes this story, what do you hope they do next?
- Which offer or next step leads to the best experience for new people?
- Is there a specific page or resource you want them to see after this?
- What would make this story feel successful to you six months from now?
Numbers intake SOP — collect clean, honest metrics without drowning in spreadsheets
Numbers are scary for many beginner writers, but you do not have to be a data scientist, you only need a small checklist that helps you capture the right figures, double-check them once, and write them in language a non-technical reader will understand.
Step 1 · Pick three core metrics
You will select only three core metrics that best represent the story, for example traffic, sign-ups, and revenue, or error rate, time to resolution, and customer satisfaction, so that your story stays focused.
- Choose metrics that link clearly to the problem and result.
- Avoid vanity metrics that sound impressive but change nothing important.
- Ask “if this number changed, would the business feel it?” before including it.
Step 2 · Capture before and after
For each core metric you will write the “before” value and the “after” value, plus the timeframe, because editors dislike claims like “we doubled sales” without context.
- Use the same timeframe for both values where possible.
- Check if there were seasonal or one-off events that might distort the data.
- If exact numbers are confidential, ask if you can use percentages or ranges.
Step 3 · Translate into reader language
You will translate each numeric change into a plain-English line that even a busy reader on their phone can grasp in one glance.
- “Cut publishing time from 3 days to 1 day.”
- “Grew month-on-month visitors for 6 months in a row.”
- “Fixed 90% of critical bugs before they reached customers.”
| Metric | Before | After | Timeframe | Reader-friendly line |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly organic traffic | [value or range] | [value or range] | [e.g., 6 months] | “Organic visitors increased steadily over six months after the new strategy.” |
| Time to publish one article | [e.g., 3 days] | [e.g., 1 day] | [e.g., after 4 weeks of changes] | “The team went from multi-day turnaround to one-day publishing.” |
| Conversion rate | [percentage] | [percentage] | [before vs after redesign] | “More visitors who arrived actually completed the key action.” |
Quotes intake SOP — turn messy speech into clean, respectful quotes
Direct quotes give your case study a human heartbeat, yet raw speech is often messy, so you will capture, clean, and approve quotes in a way that protects both accuracy and readability.
What to listen for
- Moments where the person expresses strong emotion (fear, relief, surprise, pride).
- Simple sentences that contain a clear before-after feeling in one breath.
- Comments that mention specific obstacles, decisions, or turning points.
- Lines that sound like something a reader might repeat to a colleague.
How to clean quotes
- Remove filler words (“um”, “like”, “you know”) unless needed for flavour.
- Fix light grammar errors while keeping the original meaning and tone.
- Use ellipses (…) to mark where you removed parts of a long sentence.
- Do not change the meaning to make the quote sound more dramatic.
| Stage | Messy raw line | Clean case-study quote |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | “Honestly it was kind of chaos, like, every article took forever and we had no idea what worked, and everyone was just guessing and stressed out.” | “Before the change, every article felt like a guess, and our team was constantly stressed about what actually worked.” |
| Solution | “We just sat down and said, okay, what if we treat this like an actual system and not random tasks, and that changed everything.” | “Once we treated our content as a system instead of random tasks, everything started to make sense.” |
| Result | “Now I actually sleep on weekends because I know our publishing calendar is under control and the numbers are trending up.” | “Now I actually sleep on weekends, because our publishing calendar is under control and the numbers trend up instead of down.” |
Fit the PSR+Proof+CTA flow into different publication formats
Every website or magazine has its own typical length and depth, but the underlying problem → solution → result → proof → CTA structure stays the same, so you only need to adjust the amount of detail, not the logic.
| Format | Where it appears | How deep each part goes | What proof to prioritise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short blog case study | Company blog, resource section, marketing landing page | One short paragraph each for problem, solution, and result, with a small proof box and a single CTA at the end. | 1–2 key numbers, one strong quote, one simple visual (chart or screenshot). |
| Long-form article | Guest post on niche site, thought-leadership blog, newsletter | Several paragraphs for each stage, room for a mini-timeline, multiple voices, and a more reflective conclusion. | Multiple metrics over time, quotes from different roles, more detailed comparison of before vs after. |
| Magazine-style feature | High-authority sites similar to WIRED, print or digital magazines | Narrative scenes, several sections, sometimes multiple case studies in one feature, deeper context and stakes, more conversation about industry impact. | Triangulated proof (data, documents, and human voices), rich timelines, external experts, careful fact-checking. |
| Academic / journal-style case | Journals, whitepapers, research-heavy publications | Formal structure with abstract, methodology, literature context, precise data tables, and method discussion. | Rigorously sourced data, references, reproducible methods, clear limitations of study. |
CTA planner — match the call-to-action to the case study’s job
As a writer you may not fully control the final CTA box on the page, but you can collect the right information and make a clear recommendation, which increases the chance that your story and the business goal stay aligned.
| Case study purpose | Best CTA type | Data you should collect |
|---|---|---|
| Lead generation | “Book a demo”, “Start free trial”, “Talk to an expert” | Which offer converts best today, which page the team wants to send people to, and whether they need tracking parameters on links. |
| Thought leadership | “Read related deep-dive”, “Subscribe to newsletter” | Which existing articles connect best to this story and what kind of subscriber is most valuable for the client. |
| Product education | “Explore feature guide”, “Watch walkthrough” | Which features were actually used in the case study and where the official guides live on the site. |
| Community building | “Join community”, “Sign up for webinar” | Which spaces the brand runs (Slack, Discord, forum) and which events are coming up next that match the topic. |
Three ready-to-fill outlines — plug your data into a clear skeleton
To make writing faster you will treat your intake notes as puzzle pieces and drop them into a pre-built outline, instead of starting from a blank page every time.
Template A · Short blog case study (basic client story)
- Hook (2–3 sentences): surprising problem or result in plain language.
- Problem (1 short paragraph): who struggled, what broke, why it mattered.
- Solution (1 short paragraph): key actions and tools, no fluff.
- Result (bullet list): 3–5 bullet points with numbers and short explanations.
- Mini proof box: one quote and one mini chart or screenshot.
- CTA line: one sentence and one button suggestion.
Template B · Long-form article case study (guest post)
- Opening scene: a real moment that shows the problem in action.
- Problem deep-dive: background, stakes, failed attempts, wider context.
- Solution journey: step-by-step description of what changed and how decisions were made.
- Result arc: short-term wins and longer-term changes, including numbers and human reactions.
- Proof section: a dedicated area where you bring charts, quotes, and comparisons together.
- CTA + reflection: close with what others can learn and a gentle next step.
Template C · Feature-style case package (for high-authority site)
- Narrative hook: scene with tension that hints at the wider issue.
- Context and stakes: how this case sits inside a larger industry or social story.
- Case study core: your full problem → solution → result sequence with rich details and multiple voices.
- Cross-case insight (optional): 1–2 brief mini cases or external examples for pattern contrast.
- Future implications: what this case suggests about what comes next.
- Soft CTA: invitation to think differently, explore further reading, or follow ongoing coverage.
Pre-publish checklist — one page to scan before you send your draft
This checklist helps you make sure every important part of the problem → solution → result → proof → CTA chain is present and clear, so that editors can say “yes” faster and you avoid painful rewrites.
| Area | Question | Tick |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | Is the problem described in one clear sentence that a stranger could repeat accurately? | □ |
| Solution | Does the solution section describe actions and decisions, not just a list of tools? | □ |
| Result | Does the story include at least one before/after comparison that matters to the business? | □ |
| Proof | Has every big claim been linked to at least one piece of proof (number, quote, visual, document)? | □ |
| CTA | Is there one main CTA that feels like a natural next step after the story? | □ |
| Clarity | Are paragraphs short, headings clear, and jargon either avoided or briefly explained? | □ |
| Ethics | Are quotes approved, numbers accurate, and sensitive details checked with the client? | □ |
| Fit | Does the length, tone, and depth match the target website’s existing case studies or features? | □ |
| Earning | Have you saved notes about rates, rights, and future angles in your own system for next time? | □ |
Build your “case study muscle” and turn it into a paid writing asset
The fastest way to become a confident case study writer is to treat this SOP like a gym plan, where you repeat small sets every week instead of waiting for one perfect, huge project.
Weekly micro-practice plan
- Day 1: pick a product you like and write only the problem paragraph from the user’s perspective.
- Day 2: imagine or research the solution steps and write a short solution section.
- Day 3: search for public numbers (reviews, ratings, public reports) and write a simple result + proof pair.
- Day 4: design one CTA line that feels natural at the end of that mini story.
- Day 5: combine all four into a 400–600 word practice case study.
Portfolio strategy
- Start with self-initiated case studies on your own blog or portfolio site.
- Move to small, niche websites where editors are open to beginner contributors.
- Use each new case study as a “clip” when you pitch larger outlets.
- Keep a simple table of which case studies led to new clients, better rates, or new opportunities.
Frequently asked questions about case study proof and structure
1. What if my client has no numbers?
Sometimes a client has not tracked their metrics well, especially if they are small or early stage. In that case you will look for directional or proxy indicators, such as fewer support tickets, faster publishing, or better feedback, and you will be honest about the level of precision, instead of pretending to know exact percentages.
2. What if the results are mixed, not perfect?
Mixed results often make for more interesting and realistic stories, so you can still write the case study by clearly separating where the solution worked well and where it fell short, and by showing how the team plans to improve further, which many editors appreciate more than a too-perfect story.
3. How many proof items are “enough”?
There is no fixed number, but for most online case studies you will usually want at least two solid proof items per big claim, and more if the claim is dramatic or if the outlet has a serious tone, such as a technology or business magazine.
4. Can I reuse the same proof in multiple stories?
You can reuse proof like datasets or quotes across several pieces as long as the context stays accurate and your contracts allow it, and you should always adapt the way you explain the proof so that each story still feels fresh.
5. How do I avoid making the case study sound like an advertisement?
To avoid a salesy tone you will keep the customer or subject as the hero, you will show their doubts and mistakes, and you will focus on clear cause-and-effect rather than long tool descriptions, so that readers feel guided and informed instead of pushed.
Your case study SOP is ready to use
You now have a full end-to-end SOP that walks you from raw conversations and messy evidence to a clear case study structure: you define the problem carefully, you unpack the solution in simple steps, you describe the results in human and numeric language, you collect and score proof from several families, and you recommend a CTA that matches the story’s job.
As you use this system on real projects, you will gradually build a private library of outlines, proof banks, and small data habits that make your work faster and more trustworthy, and that library becomes part of your value when you pitch better-paying websites, magazines, and journals in the future.
