Case studies and failure breakdowns
Decisions with evidence, not anonymous success stories.
Only reviewed case studies and postmortems appear here. Client names, outcomes, scale, savings, and availability figures require permission and evidence before publication.
No case study has cleared the evidence and permission gate yet. Architecture lessons remain available while these records are reviewed.

A case study must distinguish measured results from estimates, state the measurement period and scope, record client-name permission where applicable, explain rejected alternatives, and identify what evidence supports the outcome.
A postmortem must not present a hypothetical scenario as a real incident. It must include impact, timeline, root cause, missed signals, recovery, and preventative controls.
