Case study wall

Structured like FAQ tiles but filled with field notes from Singapore-led studios. Each card lists industry, tension, intervention, and observable outcome language we can defend in reviews.

Cooling Off a Warehouse Slot Spiral

Client industry

Regional e-commerce

Challenge

Marketing bursts consumed nightly slots, leaving finance reports stranded without a shared vocabulary for why.

Solution

Urbadan coaches paired Bronze-to-Silver Modeling Lab graduates with Mei’s slot worksheets to narrate spikes with ticket-linked stories.

Outcome

Weekly governance forums shortened from 90 to 35 minutes while error budgets stayed flat quarter over quarter.

Humanizing Alerts Before a Loyalty Cutover

Client industry

Payments

Challenge

Pager noise masked genuine Iceberg writer stalls; on-call engineers burned out before the cutover weekend.

Solution

Streaming Lakehouse Cutover Studio drills plus Jonas’s telemetry copy clinic rewrote alerts into two-sentence pagers with upstream vendor context.

Outcome

Night pages dropped 41% in the pilot month without new infrastructure spend.

Tea-Break Schema Reviews That Stuck

Client industry

Logistics

Challenge

Contract changes bounced between analytics and operations because reviews felt adversarial.

Solution

Outcome

Friday emergency reverts fell from four per month to one, tracked over two fiscal quarters.

Client industry

SaaS billing

Challenge

New PMs ignored lineage screenshots in onboarding decks, slowing trust in revenue metrics.

Kai paired Dagster assets to product verbs and coached three-stop tours narrated by engineers who did not own the YAML.

Outcome

PM satisfaction on onboarding surveys moved from 3.1 to 4.3 on a five-point scale without adding headcount.
