Why it works

The story earns New Capability because Finishers literally could not run a secure C2C bib resale marketplace before this build. The before-state is concrete: fraud-prone social media swaps with no organizer oversight. The six-month volume figure gives a credible early proof point without overclaiming maturity.

Steal this

Anchor the before-state in a real customer behavior problem (athletes swapping bibs on social media) rather than an internal pain, which makes the new capability feel necessary rather than nice-to-have.
