Case Study Public

Public Case Study (tier 3)

Turn a run package into a case study fit for external publication. Tier 3 is the hard sanitization tier: no internal identifiers of any kind, aggregates and ranges only, every headline claim triangulated. Value is engineer-hours, cycle time, and capacity; never money.

Read ../../references/interim-format.md first — it defines run location and the completeness gate. Defer these rendering references until the gate passes; a refused render never loads them:

• ../../references/provenance.md — tag rendering, anti-inflation rules, the no-currency contract.
• ../../references/evidence.md — the external evidence table and the triangulation procedure.
• ../../references/audiences.md — the tier-3 contract and the final checklist.

User arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Context

Recent runs: !sh -c 'ls -dt "$HOME"/Documents/*/business/ /mnt/c/Users/*/Documents/*/business/ 2>/dev/null' | head -5 | grep . || echo "(no runs found)"

Procedure

1. Locate the run

Use the $ARGUMENTS path if given, else the newest run per interim-format.md. Confirm the choice with the user.

2. Completeness gate

Run the completeness gate from interim-format.md. Refuse to render from an incomplete package; list what is missing and stop.

3. Draft under the tier-3 contract

Read the deferred references above, then draft the case study in this order — sanitized from the first word, not sanitized afterwards:

1. Context — the kind of team and the kind of task, described without identifying anyone or anything internal.
2. Approach — what was built, in transferable terms.
3. Results — aggregates and ranges only; every figure tagged as tag plus method phrase per audiences.md; denominators and pinned-window lengths stated; honest rounding.
4. Limitations — candid and mandatory: measurement weaknesses, the counterfactual rung, what was not measured. Credibility is the PR asset.

4. Triangulate every headline claim

Apply the triangulation procedure from evidence.md to each headline claim. A claim outside the defensible external range is removed or kept only with an explicit methodology defense. Record each outcome.

5. Final checklist pass

Run the tier-3 final checklist from audiences.md over the finished draft as an explicit pass, item by item. Fix every hit, then write <run>/reports/case-study-public.md.

Output

Open with a one-line hero (✓ Public case study: <headline with tag>, ✓ Evidence report: <supported claim, unknowns named>, or ⚠ Refused: <reason>), then exactly these sections:

1. ## Run — the run chosen and its pinned window.
2. ## Gate — the completeness result.
3. ## Sanitization — the checklist results item by item, and the triangulation outcome per headline claim.
4. ## Report — where it was written and the headline.

End with an AskUserQuestion panel: derive the PR release next, tighten a claim, or stop. Skip the panel in plan mode or when running non-interactively.
