Why it works
The story opens with a clear broken state: search was so unreliable that no one used it and customer service was fielding constant complaints, which makes the turnaround frame the right primary tag. The 4x conversion lift and jump from under 5 percent to 15-20 percent search adoption then supply strong Breakthrough evidence, making the secondary tag straightforward. The competitive switch flag is earned by the explicit callout of leaving Nosto for Algolia Recommend, even though the core search displacement is from an unnamed Shopify plug-in.
Steal this
Anchor the before-state with a concrete failure signal from a non-technical team, here the customer service team fielding daily complaints about unfindable products. That detail makes the problem visceral and credible to a non-technical buyer.
