Why it works

The case study leads with a net-new capability: the Angeleno Account did not exist before, and dozens of fragmented custom-built systems could not deliver it. That makes New Capability the right primary tag even though efficiency gains (automated provisioning, reduced manual remediation, freed developer hours) are woven throughout. The bot detection anecdote is concrete and quotable, grounding an otherwise abstract identity story in a real attack stopped.

Steal this

The specific bot-detection vignette: a named attacker type, a named feature deployed, and a clear before-and-after outcome told in two sentences by a named executive. It turns a platform feature into a human-scale win without inventing a metric.
