Why it works
The case study leads with two concrete numbers (10 to 5 engineers, 300 to 30 lines of code) that make the efficiency gain tangible and comparable. The before-state is specific: custom state machines that were error-prone and slowed onboarding, not a vague 'inefficiency.' The secondary Resilience angle is present because the core problem was data desynchronization causing service disruptions, but the headline framing leads with resource reduction.
Steal this
Pair a headcount reduction metric with a code-volume reduction metric side by side. Two numbers in one sentence make the efficiency claim harder to dismiss than either number alone.
