Why it works

The piece earns its headline number with a precise before and after (193 minutes to 3:26) and backs it with a second concrete metric (44 days of build time saved across 118,000 jobs in a two-week window). The customer quote about Depot sending a PR to reduce PostHog's own spend is a rare, specific moment that makes the vendor's values credible rather than just claimed. The story walks the line between Efficiency and Breakthrough because the 55x reduction also unlocked a new level of responsiveness PostHog could not deliver before, but the headline leads with a number going down, so Efficiency is the right primary tag.

Steal this

The anecdote of the vendor proactively sending a pull request to reduce the customer's bill is a concrete trust signal that does more work than any generic 'partnership' claim. Find one moment where your team acted against short-term revenue in the customer's favor and lead with it.
