Case Studies

Real Results for Canadian Businesses

This is the library every case-study section on the site leads to. Each engagement below is written up in detail — what the client walked in with, the CRA rule the result turned on, and the figure it produced. Every service, industry, city and pricing page also carries six engagements of its own, reachable through the four collections here.

Every engagement below is real work for a Canadian client, with the figure achieved and the CRA rule it turned on. Client names are omitted for confidentiality. Each service, industry and city page also carries its own case studies, linked above.
