Case studies

Evidence, with the boundaries published alongside it.

A case study is not a list of large numbers. It is a starting condition, the evidence, what was done, what changed and what that change can honestly be said to mean.

The Goldeneye evidence standard

Starting condition
What existed, and what did not, before any work began.
Evidence
What was measured, where it was reported from and over which period.
Intervention
What was actually built or changed, without claiming each change caused the result.
Verified change
What moved, checked against the system that records the real business action.
Business meaning
What the change means for the business, in plain terms.
Evidence boundaries
What the case does not prove, published alongside what it does.

Five things Goldeneye keeps separate

Reporting them as one number is how a case study stops being evidence. A measured change is not automatically a change Goldeneye caused.

  • Measured website behavior, such as sessions and channel mix.
  • Verified business outcomes, such as inquiries confirmed by the business.
  • Search visibility, such as reported Google Search clicks and impressions.
  • AI and search feature visibility, such as reported Generative AI Features impressions.
  • Causal conclusions, which require evidence that a specific change produced a specific result.
