I made every mistake possible with this before figuring out the right approach. Let me save you the pain.
Background
Before I get into the results, you need to understand the starting point. Every case study that skips context is useless because you cannot assess whether the results apply to your situation.
The numbers
I hate vague advice. Here are actual numbers from my setup. Your setup will differ, but at least you have a reference point instead of someone saying “it depends” for the fifth time.
Results
Numbers. Real, unembellished numbers. I am including the failures alongside the successes because cherry-picking wins is dishonest and unhelpful.
What I would do differently
Hindsight is 20/20, but some lessons only become clear after the fact. If I were starting from scratch today, here is what I would change.
