5 Sample Cases — AI Workflow Before/After for Different Teams
All 5 below are SAMPLE (not verified) — modeled from public industry benchmarks + my own 14-day ship data (4 iOS apps + 5-side toolkit + 1 WeChat mini-program). When I get a real paying client, I'll replace one SAMPLE with a VERIFIED case and update this page.
No fake testimonials. Every case below is labeled SAMPLE — modeled from public industry benchmarks + my own 14-day ship data. When I get a real paying client, I'll replace one SAMPLE with a VERIFIED case and put their name here (with permission).
The goal of this page is to show you how I think, not to fake social proof. If you want real references, email me and I'll connect you to any early adopters.

⚠️ Honest disclosure — what this page is
I currently (2026-05) have zero publicly verifiable paying client case studies. These 5 cases are all labeled SAMPLE because I:
Don't want to pretend "I've worked with N clients" — I'm honest about where I am
Also don't want to leave this page empty — you need something to evaluate whether I can help
So I built 5 sample cases, all data from public industry benchmarks + my own real productivity numbers
Each case has a data source at the bottom. When real clients come, I'll replace SAMPLE tags with VERIFIED and add logo + quote (with permission).
