Why it works

The core before-state is explicit: different business units held different definitions of the same key terms, stored in spreadsheets and notes, making reporting unreliable. That is a Clarity story. The Resilience angle is present but secondary, as Alation's lineage tracking bolsters data protection during a large cloud migration. The piece is honest about where HBF is on its journey, framing results as in-progress rather than completed, which is credible but leaves the story without a single hard outcome number.

Steal this

Anchoring the before-state to a concrete, relatable example ('the word member means different things in different departments') makes the pain legible to any reader who has worked across business units, without needing a quantified metric.
