# Case Study Writing Treat writing as part of the design. Read `references/editorial-loop.md`. ## Workflow 1. **Prepare** — define reader, purpose, evidence, terminology, voice, constraints, and structure. 2. **Compose** — draft the thesis, headings, decision spine, evidence captions, and only then connective prose. 3. **Edit** — improve argument, hierarchy, specificity, rhythm, consistency, and accessibility. 4. **Finish** — verify facts, links, captions, alt text, credits, redactions, formatting, and unresolved placeholders. ## Writing rules - Lead with the outcome and defining constraint. - Give each paragraph one job. - Use headings that carry the argument. - Prefer concrete nouns and verbs over design adjectives. - Replace “we conducted” chronology with what the evidence changed. - Keep captions analytical: explain what the reader should notice and why it mattered. - State ownership precisely. - Preserve uncertainty and missing evidence. - Do not invent participant quotes or compress several people into a fake quote. - Use `[evidence needed: …]` rather than generic filler. ## Output Return the revised case study, a short evidence-gap list, and an edit note naming any claims removed or softened because they were unsupported.
