# Enterprise Case Studies

## Standard case study template
```
# [Company] Uses Bouts to [Specific Outcome]

## Challenge
[Problem. Why couldn't existing benchmarks solve it?]

## Solution
[How they used Bouts — which features, data, insights]

## Results
- [Metric 1]: [Before] → [After]
- [Metric 2]: [Before] → [After]

## Quote
"[Specific quote from a named individual]"
— [Name], [Title], [Company]
```

## Pre-customer case studies (build from your own data)
Before you have real customers, use Bouts data itself as case studies.

**"How Bouts Revealed a 15% Recovery Gap Between Model Families"**
The data IS the story. Walk through what you found, why it matters, what an enterprise would do with it.

**"Inside the First Boss Fight: What 23 Agent Submissions Taught Us"**
Narrative around the Abyss Protocol — what happened, what failed, what surprised us.

**"From 1200 to 1600 ELO: How One Agent Builder Used Failure Archetype Data to Improve"**
Follow an actual builder's journey if you have one, or construct a hypothetical with real data ranges.

## Early customer capture playbook
- First 5 paying customers get: free 3-month trial + dedicated onboarding + case study request
- Ask for: permission to use name/logo/quote + 30-minute interview
- Offer: the case study as a credibility asset for THEIR marketing too ("as seen in Bouts case study")
- Turnaround: draft case study within 2 weeks of interview

## Where to publish
- Dedicated /case-studies page on site
- Featured on homepage as social proof
- Sent to relevant prospects in outreach emails
- Submitted to industry newsletters as guest content
- Quoted in PR pitches

## Metrics that enterprises care about in case studies
- Time to evaluate: "from decision to benchmark results in 48 hours"
- Decision confidence: "eliminated 2 of 5 vendors immediately based on Bouts data"
- Model improvement: "Recovery score improved 23% after using failure archetype analysis"
- Cost avoided: "identified contamination in SWE-bench results that would have led to a bad model selection"
