The problem

Raw project retrospectives, interview notes, and sales data often contain sensitive information or messy details that make them unusable for training or marketing. Manually anonymizing and reframing these into pedagogical case studies is time-consuming and risks losing the core logic that makes the case valuable.

What it does

• Extracts the underlying causal chain, actors, and outcome logic from raw source material.
• Generates 3-5 distinct, anonymized variations across different industries and scales to maximize utility.
• Explicitly tags content as observed evidence or narrative illustration to maintain integrity.
• Validates every case against confidentiality, plausibility, and differentiation checks.
• Maps cases to specific applications like sales enablement, workshops, or content marketing.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Basic prompting often leads to generic, "perfect" stories that lack realistic friction or leak identifiable details. This skill enforces a disciplined extraction process that preserves the transferable principle while systematically varying the context to build a broader, safer library than a simple rewrite could achieve.

Use cases

• Transforming internal project retros into client-facing success stories.
• Converting expert interviews into anonymized training modules for new hires.
• Creating varied role-play scenarios for sales team workshops.
• Generating a library of "failure mode" examples to illustrate common industry pitfalls.

Known limitations

Requires specific source material like transcripts or retrospectives to function effectively. It cannot generate high-fidelity cases from extremely vague one-sentence descriptions.
