Why it works

The story earns its headline by anchoring on a specific, customer-level outcome (3 percentage points) tied to a concrete mechanism: a Slalom-led workshop that tuned Radar rules and 3D Secure settings for high-value transaction patterns. The $4,500 average ticket context makes even a small acceptance improvement feel meaningful in dollar terms. It is a mild Breakthrough/Efficiency coin-flip, but the headline leads with a number going up, so Breakthrough wins.

Steal this

Translate a small percentage-point gain into business stakes by stating the average transaction value, making the headline number feel large without inflating it.
