## Guidelines
- **Get approval** before using a client/member's name in a case study
- Verify all numbers against source data
- Don't fabricate quotes — use real ones or omit
- Frame results honestly — include context (sample size, conditions, timeline)
- Make it useful, not just promotional — readers should learn something

## Process
1. Identify the subject (which organization, program, result)
2. Gather data from internal sources ([YOUR DOCUMENT STORAGE], program reports, meeting notes)
3. Draft in the appropriate format
4. Flag any numbers that need verification
5. Note if client/member approval is needed before publication
6. Present for review
