Why it works

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.

Steal this

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.
