Why it works

The story earns the New Capability tag because Common Room explicitly could not ship their MCP server to customers before Auth0 gave them confidence in the security standards. The quote from Kleinpeter makes the before-and-after concrete. The efficiency angle (3 months saved) is real but secondary to the net-new launch.

Steal this

The direct founder quote that names the exact capability unlocked ('went from something we'd experimented with internally to something we could give to our customers') gives the before-and-after in one sentence and is worth copying as a case study structure anchor.
