Why it works

The case study leads with a speed number going down (4x faster decisions), which anchors it as Efficiency, but the secondary thread of loan volume growth and PPP scale gives it a clear Breakthrough dimension worth noting. The named competitor displacement (a prior unnamed aggregator with sloppy APIs) earns the competitive switch flag. Specific, quotable metrics from the CPO give the piece credibility without overclaiming.

Steal this

The multiplier-effect framing: show how one metric gain (higher conversion via Plaid) compounds into referrals, cross-sell, and revenue, so a single integration looks like a platform decision rather than a point fix.
