Why it works

The case study grounds every claim in a direct before/after comparison: two to three years for design system 1.0 versus three months for 2.0, which makes the efficiency gain concrete and credible. The mechanism is explained in enough detail to replicate: Figma import generates production-ready components, a GitLab integration routes them through pull requests, and engineers review rather than rebuild from scratch. The three named contributors each add a distinct angle, preventing the quotes from feeling interchangeable.

Steal this

Use a versioned before/after comparison (v1 took 2-3 years, v2 took 3 months) as the anchor metric. It is more vivid than a percentage alone and requires no external benchmark to be believable.
