Why it works

The case study is organized around three concrete use cases (knowledge library, projects dashboard, OKRs), which gives structure to what could otherwise be a vague productivity story. The before-state is specific enough to be recognizable: documents scattered across Dropbox Paper, new hires unable to find policies, no single view of what colleagues are doing. The quotes carry modest but real information rather than generic praise, though no hard metrics appear anywhere, which limits the story's persuasive weight.

Steal this

Breaking one 'we use Notion' story into three named, distinct use cases (wiki, project tracker, OKR database) keeps the narrative concrete and gives readers multiple entry points to self-identify with Buffer's problem.
