Best Use Cases

Client Acquisition Portfolios: Present your work to potential clients with case studies that explain your process and results. Your portfolio creates visual interest without overwhelming your actual work. When clients are comparing you against competitors, they hire the one whose portfolio doesn't look amateur or template-based—the one that proves their work is worth premium pricing.

Process Documentation: Document your work process and findings in a format that demonstrates strategic thinking. The case study layouts give you space to explain not just what you made but why you made those decisions and what impact they had. Clients and hiring managers want to see your thinking process, and the multi-section case study format lets you demonstrate that depth.

Career Transition Documentation: Document your professional evolution when moving from one specialization to another or from employment to independent work. The case study format lets you explain not just what you made but why you made those decisions. Clients and hiring managers want to see your thinking process, and the multi-paragraph case study layouts give you space to demonstrate that depth.

Specialty Service Marketing: Showcase a specific service with targeted case studies. The experience section establishes credibility with recognizable company names, while the skills section makes it clear exactly what tools and methods you use. Service-based businesses need to justify premium pricing, and detailed case studies help you demonstrate the value you deliver.
