Why it works
The case study anchors on a concrete authorization rate with a clear industry-peer comparison, which makes the headline number feel credible rather than self-reported. The before-state is specific: app store payments gave no visibility into declines, and tax obligations were offloaded to Apple and Google. The mechanism is explained in enough detail (Adaptive Acceptance, network tokens, Card Account Updater, a two-engineer three-week integration) that a reader can reason about the approach.
Steal this
The industry-peer benchmark (17% higher authorization rate than peers) turns an internal metric into an external proof point, giving the reader a reference that makes the number meaningful without needing a named competitor.
