Why it works
The case study earns its Efficiency tag by anchoring on a concrete before-state: ingestion logic scattered across Java, Python, Airflow, and cron jobs that broke under scale. The competitive switch to Airbyte from Fivetran is explicit and includes a specific failure moment during evaluation, which gives the switch credibility. The secondary New Capability angle is real because DataGOL can now build connectors for arbitrary client APIs, something the old approach made impractical, though the story leads with operational relief rather than net-new ability.
Steal this
The case study uses a specific failure moment from the competitive evaluation ('we couldn't get a single data source connected during evaluation with Fivetran') to make the switch feel earned rather than arbitrary. That single concrete detail does more persuasive work than a feature comparison table.
