Why it works

The case study leads with a concrete, attributable number (4,160 hours) tied directly to a specific before-state (two full-time engineers maintaining a deprecated on-prem instance). Two named engineers provide quotes that carry real operational detail rather than filler praise. The migration speed comparison (5 days vs. 3-month estimate) adds a second credible data point without overclaiming.

Steal this

Anchor the efficiency gain in headcount equivalent (two full-time engineers) before converting it to hours. Headcount is visceral in a way that raw hours are not, and it makes the ROI immediately legible to an engineering leader.
