Why it works
The story earns its Resilience tag because the core win is that a bad thing stopped happening: fraudulent use of the Bilfinger domain is now blocked at the reject-policy level. The Clarity secondary tag fits because a concrete before-state of blindness is named: the IT team no longer knew who was sending legitimate email on the Bilfinger domain, which made any enforcement policy impossible. The mechanism is explained well enough to follow, walking through DMARC, the managed-service consultant model, and the third-party sender inventory process.
Steal this
Name the invisible obstacle inside the solution section. The detail about rogue internal divisions commissioning their own email providers without IT knowledge reframes a technical project as an organizational discovery problem, making the vendor's managed-service model feel necessary rather than optional.
