Sifflet x Adaptavist: From days of debugging to hours, in three days of setup

+94% gain in testing efficiency (daily runs from hours to 10 minutes)

Bloated, opaque stack to full end-to-end lineage visibility

Why it works

The case study anchors on two concrete efficiency numbers (94% testing gain, 92% refactoring gain) that are specific to this customer, giving readers something to benchmark against. The quote from Callum O'Connor is genuinely informative: it walks through a real technical obstacle (cross-repo lineage to S3 via stored procedures) and the exact workaround used (mapping table parsed into declared assets sent via API). There is a mild coin-flip between Efficiency and Clarity because the before-state is partly about not seeing lineage at all, but the headline numbers and framing lead with time and effort saved, so Efficiency wins.

Steal this

The before/after debugging narrative (two days hunting nested CTEs vs. working backwards from a monitor to one piece of code) makes the time saving tangible and process-specific, not just a percentage drop. Pair a workflow description with the metric and readers will believe both.
