Why it works
The story is grounded in a concrete operational trigger, a headcount loss, which gives the before-state real stakes. The progression from 36 conversations in week one to nearly 300 per week is a clean growth arc that shows the tool compounding over time. The deflection rate figure, with a specific peak percentage, prevents the results section from sliding into vague claims.
Steal this
The week-one baseline anchor: quoting the very first week's modest number (36 conversations) and framing it as a win makes the later growth feel earned and credible, not cherry-picked.
