The story earns its headline by showing a concrete before-state: a self-inflicted conversion drop caused by manual merchandising overrides. The mechanism is clear enough to follow: remove manual rules, let the algorithm use clickstream data, and measure the recovery. The dual result (conversions up, manual work down 60%) makes the Breakthrough versus Efficiency call a genuine near-tie, but the headline leads with the conversion lift so Breakthrough wins.
Use a self-inflicted mistake as the challenge. Framing the customer's own manual override as the villain makes the solution feel like a relief rather than a sales pitch, and it gives the vendor credit for restraint as much as capability.
