Client case study
We write a client case study: a 'task → what we did → result' story as proof of expertise and a trust tool. Honestly and bluntly upfront: a case is strong ONLY when it is truthful. Invented or embellished results, fake figures, others' achievements are deception that is easily exposed and hurts the reputation more than the absence of a case. Real data and the client's consent to publication are needed. And one case does not guarantee a new client will get the same result — conditions differ. We honestly make a convincing case on real facts, without inflation and false generalizations.
Client case study — overview
A client case study is a structured project story: the client's initial task/problem, what was done, what result was obtained (ideally measurable), conclusions. It is used as social proof, a demonstration of expertise, a trust and sales tool. The work: gathering real project data (with the client's participation), structuring the story, an honest presentation of the result, agreement with the client, the text. Honestly about 'a case is strong only when truthful', this is key: a case's value is in reliability. Invented results, embellished/fake figures, attributing others' achievements is deception. It is easily verified (clients, market, common sense), and exposure hurts the reputation more than the absence of a case. We honestly make a case only on real facts and figures. Honestly about 'data and the client's consent are needed': a case requires real project data and the client's consent to publication (especially figures, names, details). Without consent — we anonymize or do not publish. We honestly do not invent cases 'for beauty' and do not publish others' material without permission. Honestly about 'one case's result does not guarantee the same for others', this matters: a case shows what was achieved in SPECIFIC conditions (niche, budget, market, initial data). It is not a promise that a new client will get the same result — conditions differ. An honest case does not pass off a particular result as a guarantee for everyone. Honestly about measurability: where the result is measurable — we show honest figures with context (over what period, from what to what); where it is not precisely measurable — we honestly say so rather than invent '+300%'. Honestly about the effect: it gives a convincing truthful case as proof of expertise and a trust tool, but only on real data with the client's consent, without inflating figures, and a particular result does not guarantee the same for others (conditions differ). Honestly about access: a real project, data and the client's consent are needed. An important boundary: this is a case; reviews/reputation — 433; commercial proposal — 312; brand-story — 324. The base price starts from 15,000 ₽ per case (depends on the volume of data and approvals).
Problems we solve

- A temptation to embellish/invent results or figures for the sake of persuasiveness (deception, exposure risk).
- Publishing the client's data/achievements without consent.
- Presenting a case's particular result as a guarantee of the same result for everyone.

FAQ
Can you embellish the results in the case to be more convincing?
No, honestly, categorically: a case's value is in reliability. Invented or embellished figures, fake results, others' achievements are deception that is easily verified and hurts the reputation more than the absence of a case. We make a case only on real facts and figures. A strong truthful case is more reliable than beautiful lies.
Is the client's consent needed for a case?
Honestly — yes: a case requires real project data and the client's consent to publication (especially figures, names, details). Without consent we anonymize or do not publish. We do not invent cases 'for beauty' and do not publish the client's data/achievements without permission.
If a case shows +200%, will I get the same?
Not necessarily, honestly: a case shows the result in SPECIFIC conditions (niche, budget, market, initial data). It is not a promise of the same result for you — conditions differ. An honest case does not pass off a particular result as a guarantee for everyone. We will show what was achieved and in what context, without false generalizations.
