🧪 Case Study

Learn from what already happened: your competitors' choices, other founders' public stories, and your own experiments.

Skill	What you get	Level	Time
case-study-competitor-teardown	Learn from the enemy: 3 competitors torn down with free tools, then a Copy / Beat / Avoid list	Intermediate	2–3 h
case-study-success-story-analysis	5 comparable successes and 2 failures, bias-checked, then 3 tactics to try this month	Beginner	60–90 min
case-study-award-winning-design	Design patterns shared by Apple Design Award, App Store, Google Play Best of and Product Hunt winners, checked against growth signals, then a 3-pattern apply plan	Intermediate	2–3 h

Suggested order: competitor teardown → success stories → award-winning design (when you redesign onboarding, a paywall, the store page or a launch page) → (run your own experiment) → write your own case study.
