The constraint here was not demand or audience but the monolithic CMS itself, which blocked the team from publishing, improving accessibility, and iterating without developer involvement. Removing that constraint produced a clear step-change in publishing speed and marketer autonomy. The case is specific about a mission-driven nonprofit with complex accessibility requirements succeeding, which speaks directly to similar organizations skeptical that a commercial headless CMS will serve their needs.
The incremental migration validation move: they launched part of the site first, confirmed SEO improved, then expanded. It turns a risky big-bang migration into a proof point the team could celebrate and build momentum from.
