Why it works

The story has a clear before-state (limited resources, no billing infrastructure, manual dunning burden) and an honest articulation of how specific Recurly features relieved operational friction. The quotes from Adam Hawes are functional rather than generic, pointing to concrete capabilities like dunning and coupons. However, no outcome numbers appear anywhere, which keeps this piece firmly in the narrative-only tier.

Steal this

Naming specific product features (dunning, Account Updater, coupons) and tying each one to a distinct operational pain makes the mechanism legible without requiring a single metric.
