Our Standard

What We Look For in a Case Study

Every published case study on this site follows the same rule: nothing goes live without the client's explicit permission. Each example is checked against a simple standard, so what you read here can be trusted rather than padded.

  • Explicit, written client permission to publish - including company name, sector detail and any figures used.
  • Accurate, verified outcomes - no estimated or rounded-up results presented as fact.
  • Anonymisation where confidentiality requires it - an accurate sector description in place of identifying detail.
  • A genuine testimonial, attributed only with the client's agreement.
