# Case Studies

## Summary

Accessible write-ups exploring adoption and impact through narrative stories for a general audience.

## Description

Case studies give real-world examples of when use of a standard has enabled a particular impact, while giving space for frank discussion of the challenges faced. This helps to set expectations among potential adopters and encourages those currently going through adoption of a standard to be reassured that encountering challenges isn't exceptional.

## Prioritisation Factors

- Where a standard is more mature and at least one useful real example exists that can be described
- Where a strong advocacy is required to encourage adoption
- Where a standard's value proposition is concerned with impact beyond the use of the data - such as social outcomes

## Deprioritisation Factors

- Where no real stories exist
- Where the community around a standard already share details with each other
