FAQ
How do I decide whether to use a ‘case study definition’ template or a ‘format’ template first?
Start with a ‘case study definition’ template if you’re unsure about the structure or need to align stakeholders on goals and scope. Use a ‘format’ template once you’ve defined the key elements—like challenges, actions, and results—to ensure consistency. Think of the definition template as a roadmap and the format as the actual story framework.
Should I include confidential client data in a case study template?
Never include real confidential data in a template or final case study. Use placeholder names, anonymized details, or broad metrics (e.g., ‘increased efficiency by 30%’) instead. Focus on the methodology and outcomes without compromising privacy or legal agreements.
What’s the best way to present qualitative vs. quantitative results in these templates?
Use tables or bulleted lists for quantitative results (e.g., ‘35% higher conversion rate’) to make data scanable. Save qualitative insights—like customer quotes or observer notes—for dedicated sections with clear headings. Balance both to show *how* success was achieved, not just the numbers.
