Why it works

The headline number goes down (FRT drops 91%), so Efficiency is the clear primary tag despite the dramatic growth backdrop. The case study earns credibility by pairing a hard response-time metric with a concrete before-state: two people handling a 10x volume spike. The Zendesk mention is a passing reference without a named switch narrative, so competitive_switch stays false.

Steal this

Lead with the staffing constraint alongside the growth number. '10x growth, two people in support' makes the efficiency gain feel earned rather than vendor-generated.
