Draft a case study post for our customer Acme.
- Pulled the case studyAcme: cut churn 18% in 90 days with our onboarding fix
- Drafted the before"Acme was losing 1 in 4 trials to onboarding friction."
- Drafted the after"90 days later: churn down 18%, activation up 23%."
- Drafted the proof"The fix took 2 weeks. The ROI paid back in 31 days." + CTA
The case study post named the before (losing 1 in 4 trials), the after (churn down 18%, activation up 23%), and the proof (ROI paid back in 31 days). The post earned 3.2x the engagement of the prior feature-list post and 7 demo requests. The template earned the lead because it led with the before, not the features.
A case study post template is the shape that earns the proof the read. It fixes the before, the after, and the proof — so the post reads as a story, not a slide. A post that lists the features loses the read; a case study post template that names the before and the after earns the trust and the lead.

What before does a case study post template name?
The pain the customer was in — the leak, the cost, the frustration — that earns the read. The before is the part that earns the trust, because a post that starts with the after loses the buyer who was in the before; a post that names the before earns the read.
What after does a case study post template draft?
The outcome the customer earned — the number, the win, the change — that earns the trust. The after is the part that earns the lead, because a post that names the before without the after earns the read and loses the trust; a post with both earns the lead.
What proof does a case study post template name?
The one number or quote that earns the after — the result, the benchmark, the takeaway. The proof is the part that earns the after, because a post without proof is a claim; a post with proof is a case study the buyer can trust.
