Why it works

The case study earns its headline number by tracing it to specific mechanisms: Cloud AutoStopping replacing manual follow-the-sun scripting, anomaly detection shifting cost reviews from lagging bill review to in-sprint conversations, and governance-as-code preventing non-compliant resource creation before spend occurs. The before-state is concrete, with 15% budget overruns and a tool that engineers only opened to buy Reserved Instances. The Clarity secondary tag is justified because a meaningful part of the win is Cost Categories giving visibility across shared services that simply did not exist before.

Steal this

The case study quantifies the failure of the previous tool in behavioral terms, not just financial ones. Noting that teams only opened the old tool to buy Reserved Instances and ignored it otherwise makes the adoption gap vivid and positions the new tool's integration into CI/CD workflows as the actual fix, not just a feature upgrade.
