```text
Turn this client interview into a case study. My offer: [YOUR OFFER]. Who will read it: [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT]. How the client can be named: [NAMING PERMISSION, e.g. first name and industry only]. Transcript: [INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT]. Write: 1. A headline that leads with the strongest specific result the client actually stated. 2. A snapshot box with who they are, their challenge, what we did and two or three results. 3. A 500 to 700 word story in four parts: before, why they chose me, what we did together and what changed. 4. Three quotes copied word for word, chosen for specifics over praise. Rules: never invent or round a number, keep quotes exact apart from removing filler words, and if a strong result is missing, list the follow-up questions I should ask. Write at an eighth-grade reading level.
```
