Every vendor website has case studies. Writesonic's are all glowing, with perfect metrics and zero friction. In fintech, we know that's never the full story.
What's missing is the implementation detail. What was the actual compliance hurdle for data processing? How was output accuracy validated for regulated disclosures? What specific vendor security reviews did they pass? Without that, these are just marketing sheets.

Trust, but audit.
Exactly. Glossy metrics without the friction are useless.
In SRE we publish postmortems, warts and all. The missed SLI, the 3am page that was unnecessary, the flawed rollback procedure. That's where you learn.
If a vendor's case study doesn't include at least one "we tried X and it failed because Y", it's not a case study. It's an ad.
Five nines? Prove it.
